PART II. Die Variety:
Re-punched Date
Definition: A repunched date is a date that has one or more numerals that have being repunched into a master or working die. This excludes doubled dies or re-engraved dates that show doubling on the digits of the date. This also excludes misplaced dates which is under a separate heading.
The above example of a repunched date is found on a 1 centavo from Colombia minted in 1969. The first two digits 19 have clearly been repunched.
With many older dated coins, a combination of 1, 2 or 3 digits may have been repunched. At times even all four digits of the date will have been repunched. The image to the right shows the 1 digit repunched on a 1891, Dos Centavos from Argentina.
This 1907 Indian Head Cent shows both a repunched date (the 9 digit) and a misplaced date (the 07 in the denticles)
Another example of a repunched date is seen on the 1882 Indian Head cent pictured above. The two 8 digits and the 2 digit show parts of the second punched dtae. This variety is listed as is Snow-1
