Lot Description

1869/69 Indian Cent. Snow-3, FS-301. Repunched Date. AU-55 (PCGS). Previously called an 1869/8 variety, but later recognized to actually be 1869/9. The die chip on Liberty's cheek is missing, but the other diagnostics are clear, including the wider spread on 9, and slight repunching on 6.<br /> A pleasing coin with well struck design elements overall and only minor typical softness on the top three feather tips of Liberty's headdress. Traces of high point wear and a few minuscule tick marks are found on the briefly circulated, reddish-brown surfaces. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
