Camerons' 1878/8 Quarter on Ebay

I discovered this variety sometime in the 1990's, and had an article published in Volume 23, Issue #68 of the Gobrecht Journal in March of 1997.
There is a closeup picture of the repunched 8 in the Journal article.
I don't know the rarity of this variety, but I believe it to be somewhat scarce.

  • Neat! I wish I could get a good closeup of the date but couldn't without a microscope.

  • How much do you think this is going to go for?

    Send it to me, I have a microscope and will get some pics of it for you.

    Looks like an interesting coin.

    You did ok. Varieties don't always bring the premiums' their rariety suggest they should.
    You did get more than the $65 you had for a BIN at the auction start.
