 1877'S' Recut Second '7'. Brilliant Uncirculated. The final '7' is repunched low, clearly visible with a magnifier. There is also a lump near the center of the upright stand of the first '7'. Bright and lustrous with a decent strike on the devices. Moderate hairlines in the fields, and a pleasing overall appearance. This repunched date is not noted in Breen's Encyclopedia and is dramatic enough that most collectors will want to obtain an example for their collections. Likely a rare variety and worth further research.
Ex W. Earl Spies Sale (Stack's, December 1974, lot 859).
