The 1847/47 Large over Small 47 variety shows the final two digits of the date repunched: larger 47 digits punched over smaller ones. The Mint corrected undersized numerals by overpunching them with the correct-sized punches, leaving traces of both impressions. The variety is identifiable under magnification and carries a premium.
