Due to the hardness of the planchets, working dies frequently failed or required re-engraving and re-punching, creating several celebrated date varieties. On this 1865 RPD example, secondary punching is visible on the digits of the date under magnification. With full, bold outlines and honest post-Civil War wear, this piece is an exciting variety pick for odd-denomination specialists, variety collectors, and 19th-century U.S. type set builders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClassyCoins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52772658938168,"sku":"336732095056","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/1743\/3400\/files\/57_1055c2ab-5f99-478f-9dad-3f4e8308277b.jpg?v=1786145742","url":"https:\/\/classycoins.com\/products\/1865-three-cent-piece-rpd-historic-post-civil-war-base-metal-coin-515","provider":"classycoins.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
