1872 Indian Head Cent Repunched Date FS-301

Description

This 1872 Indian Head cent features a Repunched Date designated FS-301. The final digit 2 is repunched higher than the original 2 of the date, creating a visible doubling effect where the top of the earlier punch position can be seen below the final 2. Repunched dates are among the most collected varieties in the Indian Head cent series, as each digit was individually hand-punched into the working die during this era. The 1872 Indian Head cent is a lower-mintage date in the series, which adds to the desirability of attributed varieties.
