1873 Indian Head Cent (Open 3) Repunched Date FS-1301 Snow-1

Description

This 1873 Indian Head cent with the Open 3 date style features a Repunched Date designated FS-1301 (formerly FS-009.3), Snow-1. The digits 73 are visibly repunched over the original 73 in the date, creating a clear doubling effect on the final two digits. The "Open 3" refers to the style of the digit 3 in the date, where the ends of the 3 are more widely spaced apart, as opposed to the "Closed 3" variety where they nearly touch. The 1873 Open 3 is itself a sought-after variety, and attributed repunched dates within this subtype add further collectibility.
