Wow, it must be rare...It's not even listed in the Red Book

The one I found listed in the Red Book is going for about $125.00

What's so rare about this one?

vinman

This coin is a Newcomb-8 which is classified as Extremely Rare. Also, there are a only 2 that have been graded by NGC.

What are the diagnostics that confirm this as N-8? Thanks.

vinman

There is a large die crack from the first star to the left of the one straight threw the 2nd star in in the eight in eighteen on the right hand side

That is the correct diagnostic and it is an R-4 according to Newcomb. Worth a premium if you're a variety collector of large cents.

Fair market value is $175 to $200. It has been downgraded to R3 since the time Newcomb's book was published; R3 is "scarce," but not "rare". "Extremely Rare" is an expression reserved for early copper coins rating R7 or R8.
