1879 proofs with repunched dates are not rare. There should be hundreds available out of a total yearly mintage of over 3000.

I have one of these too. Often they will show a great deal of ejection (strike) doubling in addition to the repunched date. Here's a photo of mine:




The repunching is west. The ejection doubling is east.

My coin is a F (Fletcher) -01. Since you said you have a tripled 8, your coin may be a different variety F-04.
