A nice trio of new die varieties have been added\u00a0to the catalogue listings: a repunched date, exotic die crack, and a new retained cud.<\/p>\n

The 1896 RPD-019<\/a> was found housed in an NGC MS64RB holder at auction (not eBay). The repunching in the top loop might actually be a die gouge or deep die line as it appears to lack curvature. The 1866 CRK-001<\/a> photographed is the second one I’ve found, the first being in a grade of G or VG. I will get some pictures up of the lower grade coin, which exhibits the die crack in the 1 very prominently. I had suspected that a higher grade example would yield more die cracks, and it turned out to be so! An example with a bisecting die crack would be a true find.<\/p>\n

The 1862 CUD-011<\/a> features a retained cud on the obverse. Finding a retained cud on the obverse in the Indian Head Cent series is a true find because the obverse was the hammer die, and broken portions of the die\u00a0quickly fell out of the press\u00a0due to gravity.<\/p>\n

Finally, two awesome varieties have had photos added. The 1883 ODD-001<\/a> has the die dot on the reverse, under the N in ONE. The 1907 MPD-011<\/a> is very neat as it clearly shows the top of a 7 in the denticles and a trace of the 0.<\/p>\n

ENJOY!<\/p>\n
