look what came out after I used a Dwarf lime needle! these are about 2" long, and very sharp-pointed. Easier to handle than a little dinky rose thorn!
I don't have an image to compare to, so this was a "shot-in-the-dark. Just looking at it, it appears to have been several attempts to get it placed properly. Comments?

Interesting, it does look like another 9. Maybe Kurt knows if it's a listed one. (it's not the same one thats in the CPG)

GarryN, I posted to see if anyone might have an image, that could be used for comparison, and see if my luck has changed yet. No indication that it has....

Dick,
That's an interesting one! I definitely see repunching on the 9, perhaps the 4 too. Unfortunately, I don't have the attribution guide for 1890-99. I'm probably missing stuff too.
As a comparison, here's the 1894 Snow-1:

Kurt, mine is not the same as the one you posted. I'll check the "18", but as I recall, it did not show any other marks, other than the ones shown in my post. Maybe it is a new one, (which I doube. Too much missing infi), and I'm sure there had to be more than just a few dies involved. Here isd a full date, after edge cleaning:

I just don't see anything repunched on that coin. Perhaps I am missing something, but it certainly doesn't stand out at me like others seem to indicate.

Hmm...at the new lighting angle I'm not seeing an RPD. Sometimes you just need to hold these in your hand to know for sure.

Kurt, It appears that my coin is a snow-4, 9/9n. I think I have found a way to check my IHC, against known varieties. It will take some time, but that is what I have most of, so that will wiork out nicely. If this becomes anactuality, I'll let you, and the others, as well, know so that I may be of some help.

I have the SNOW-1, in hand, and my coin is NOT the same. BUT, it does have , after some garbage removal with a sharp thorn, show the 1, 8n, 9n, 4. They are very minor, and not likely to be listed, rather included in the listings. Still, it will go to Rick, for viewing, and attribution. It is worth the chance. The 1858 will also go. It is the clash with the 1857 quarter. It is not very apparent, but there is a remnant, I think should be looked at.Once it is gone, and then I get it back, I'll post the results.
6/17/09. I can't seem to locate that '94! I have 6 coins ready to go, but I wanted that particular one to go, also.
