Mintage: 18,860,478
Proofs: 478
Varieties: New hubs were Introduced In 1901. The 1901-P comes with the new obverse, but both the new and old reverses (see “Major Design Changed”). There may be four different repunched date varieties. Breen reports a proof with 01/01 and a business strike with 19/19. Haney has two, listed here, which are probably different from Breen’s
No. 101- 190I-P, repunched date. Shows most clearly below 9 and last 1 (photo of Haney coin).
No. 102 - 190I-P, repunched date. The 9 and 0 are clearly doubled, the first 1 slightly so (photo of Haney coin).
Scarcity: A common date, but tougher than later P-mints. The scarcity of repunched dates is unknown since they really haven’t been looked for.
Rarity Rating: R1 in all grades.
Total PCGS/NGC = 147 (RANKING 56/74).
Comments: Comes well struck with decent luster.
No. 101. 1901-P, repunched date
No. 102. 1901-P, repunched date
