Here are two fascinating varieties.

On the left, is my 25c 1872 repunched N in Canada, ICCS AU55 cleaned. Its the highest graded I've seen.

On the right, is a 25c 1872 repunched N in Canada WITH A over V in Victoria (or the famous 1872 A/V quarter), ICCS EF40, sold in the 2006 September Long Beach, CA auction for $1265.

Ironically, ICCS recognizes the die break (die damage)of the A/V but not the die variety of the repunched N, which IMO is MORE legitimate of a variety, and also more interesting. The die break is just later damage to this particular variety.

Would CCCS label this variety properly? I know ICCS wont.

Would it be worth trying to get Charlton to recognize it as a proper variety, or is that just a waste of time? I dont have any connections with the Charlton people, so I figure the odds are low.

Really depended on when you submitted to ICCS. I doubt if anyone would certify the crack now as anything other than a crack.

I saw that coin from your photo on the right sell on ebay raw, but I couldn't bring myself to bid more than around $500. Allan Hager saw it as well, and ended up with it. I'm sure I was second place, but you can't win them all...someone once said.

Zonad, does ICCS charge extra for putting "repunched N" on it? Or is that part of the $6/coin charge when you submit 100+ coins?

I'm assuming CCCS doesn't charge extra for putting varieties on its labels.

No, they didn't charge extra. I always make notes on the 2x2s as well on on their submission form if there is something I am hoping they make note of. Sometimes it works, other times it does not.
