Rusted Die - Snow 32

https://www.indianvarieties.com/cen...907-rst-001/

I was hoping a Snow Pro could give me some information on these rusted dies. Like, how rare are they, how in demand.

Over the last couple years I have been on the look-out for all of the known years of rusted dies. I have come across very few in circulated condition, this is my first find in MS.

Thanks for any feedback.

Interesting, and nice close-up. I wouldn't think rusted dies would bring a premium.

Just got out my Snow book. Looks like this could be Snow-32, which is 1907 9/9 (s), which is a repunching of the 9 to the south, visible in the lower loop. This also has die rust, which seems to match yours, but I want a closeup of the 9 in the date to confirm. With your pictures I have no doubt we can confirm the variety. Snow gives the variety 3 stars and lists it is "quite scarce". The value here seems to be a combination of die rust with the repunching (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). My book goes up to Snow 51! That is, 51 varieties for 1907, most with minor repunching (like this one here) - and just one with die rust. So it's a cool combination, but sadly, probably not a lot of general interest in them. Rick doesn't give out a lot of 3 stars to his varieties though.

Snow-32 confirmed! Nice one. Here's a link to a page with closeups of the date, which perfectly matches yours.
