Finn70 Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 2:52 pm I bought this coin from a dealer in Texas a few years ago.I purchased it as a normal piece for $150 as a raw MS63. The flip it came in indicated that this coin was in an ANACS holder at one time. The dealer, did not indicate in the coins desription that it was a repunched date.Any ideas as to why the slab was broken, and does the coin match the grade?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 6:30 pm Agree that MS-63 sounds about right. People crack slabs for all sorts of reasons - some just plain don't like 'em. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15445 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 6:50 pm Certainly looks like a re-punched date to me - do not have the series expertise to suggest the possible earlier date. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Finn70 Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 8:54 pm Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, the coin has the typical die clashing and die cracks, as well as a weak strike, especially on the reverse. It does have a rim Cud between the 10 and 11 o'clock position on the reverse. This obverse die is known paired with 3 different reverse dies and carries only a modest premium due to its availability. Report this Post to the Staff
