1905 Variety 29

Obverse 29

Reverse AD

Obverse Diagnostics

Date Position

Repunched 5 to the Northeast

Obverse 29 is identified by repunching to the northeast on the 5 of the date, with date placement at LE.

Reverse AD is yet to observed with any die markers.

Comments: Variety 29 was first discovered by this author during April 2014. Although the date repunching of obverse 29 is minor, the lengthened flag of the 5 should be noticeable. In addition to the plate coin, I am aware of a second example that became known to me during mid July 2015.

Plate Coin: Craig McClain Collection, AU58
