Nice! Thanks for sharing! Makes you wonder why the 19 wasn't permanent and repunch the last two digits.

Those are really cool.
But, why the first part of the date getting repunched?

Good question! I have a lot where just the 19 looks repunched, and others with repunching on the whole date. One some dies, perhaps some underlying digits were polished away completely?  It's only a guess.

Here's another Colombian centavo which appears to be repunched 9 and three 6 digits partially polished from the fields.

Whoa! That's a nice one DVC!  That coin is a mess! I can't believe they let that one out the door.

Thanks Scooby! These Colombian rpds are fascinating. Not just for looks, but to imagine what happened at the mint. And look at the "6" digits! I can't be sure if that's a style, or the digit punches are just worn out.

I'm having withdrawals. I haven't bought a new doubled die in a couple of days now.

 proof you're hooked. You have a good eye for them. I bet you'll start noticing them at dealers and shows.
