Mintage: 1,330,972
Proofs: 972
Varieties: A repunched date. Breen also reports several date positions, with the 4 varying from touching the bust to barely free to more distant.
No. 101 - 1894-P completely repunched date. The first date shows clearly below the second (photo).
Scarcity: Sought after in VG to AU. Available in MS. Proofs are not regarded as “better dates.”
Rarity Rating: G-VG R2, F-VF R3, XF-AU R4, MS R2.
Total PCGS/NGC = 57 (RANKING 38/74).
Comments: Sharply struck with nice luster. Sometimes proof-like. Like the 1893-0, prices for F-XF specimens roller coasted in recent years because of hoarding. The value of No. 101 is not yet established.
