1905 Variety 4






Obverse 5

Reverse E



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position

Misplaced 9, 0 and 5 (Click Image To Enlarge)

Repunched 5


Obverse 5 is identified by date placement at B, the tops of misplaced 9, 0 and 5 digits in the denticles below the date and date repunching that features an initial date impression to the north within the loop of the 5.

Reverse E is rotated 5 degrees clockwise.

Comments:  Obverse 5 exhibits two separate impressions of a 0 digit within the denticles below the primary 0 of the date, which most likely indicates that Obverse 5 received two initial digit punch impressions into the denticles.

The Obverse 5 date repunching was previously unidentified prior to publication in this book.

Plate Coin:  D. Poliquin Collection, AU58 details
