For the Indian Cent variety guys, is this Snow variety still rare?

I picked this off the 'Bay earlier this week, it is currently out for delivery so these are the seller's pics.

I found it because of the clip (obviously), but I immediately picked up on the repunched date as well. A little research told me this is a Snow-7, the comma-shaped die gouge below OF being the chief diagnostic.


I found two other attributed examples currently for sale on eBay, one of them quotes Snow as saying this is an R-7 variety in circulated grades, meaning less than 12 known. Given the existence of at least three examples on eBay this week, I tend to question that.

Does anyone more versed in Indian cent varieties care to fill me in on the current rarity and/or value of my find?

Thanks,
Sean Reynolds
