About this coinHistory

The 1894/1894 repunched date shows the date digits doubled, with a second impression slightly offset from the first. The entire date was punched twice into the die, creating ghost images of all four digits. The doubling is visible under magnification and is consistent across all coins from this die. The variety is recognized by major grading services and carries a premium over the standard 1894.
