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
Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Look on the Internet for Rick's office phone and call him.
.
Blakesley effect can be seen on that IHC, too.
Opposite rim looks right, but the worn ridge at the clip on the reverse is unusual.
I list the S7 at a 2-star variety meaning it is worth about a double premium. I don't give a rarity rating in the 3rd edition of the Attribution Guide.
Ask Rick to pay you double what you paid for it
Neat ebay pickup, especially as a cherry pick.... Well done.. Cheers, RickO
