1894/1894 1c Repunched Date, FS-301, S-1 MS RD

The 1894/1894 doubled date is a popular variety in the Indian Cent Series. Minor doubling is seen on the one with small spots east of the eight; but, the most obvious component of this variety appears on the nine (clear second nine at the top right of the nine) and four (clearly struck second point above the four). Tough to locate in all grades with Mint State pieces being scarce and gems being extremely rare. The value increases at a very gradual pace as the color designation goes from brown to red.
