1869 $1 Misplaced Date and Repunched Date, FS-301, MS61 PCGS. OC-2, R.2. Ex: Dick Osburn and the Osburn-Cushing Reference Collections. OC Die State a/b. Plated in the OC reference, A Register of Die Varieties. The PCGS holder calls this a proof, although the OC-2 die pair indicates it is a prooflike early circulation strike. The fields show deep reflectivity beneath a thin veil of translucent gold toning on the obverse, while the reverse is colorfully toned in reddish-gold and blue hues. Both sides display a sharp strike, with clear remnants of a misplaced 6 in the dentils below the primary 6 and repunching on the base of 1. Two dash-like lumps below the 1 confirm an early strike, while a light die crack across the top of UNITED confirms this is a circulation strike. Only a few light marks and faint lines in the fields are of note. The obverse die is seen on both circulation strikes (OC-2) and proofs (OC-P4).
From The Dick Osburn Collection.
