    I've checked this against all of the Newcomb listings and cannot find an exact match. This sure looks like a repunched or overdate variety as it doesn't look like MD, but the wear could be affecting it? Just asking for some input as to what exactly I have here. I know she's a little rough, but still a decent coin. 20240516_125819.jpg 20240516_125828.jpg 20240516_125918.jpg 20240516_125958.jpg 20240516_130038.jpg 20240516_130048.jpg

    Give me one second. :)

    Edit:
    My first impression is that it is N-1, that variety is known to have strong repunching in the earlier die states.

    I will have to double check in my books when I get home.

    After looking at the reverse a bit closer, I think you nailed it. I was too focused on the date and neglected any other markers like the ones around the inner denticles on the reverse.
