1888/7 Indian Head Cent?

What is going on at the last "8" here? I know it's likely nothing, but I am curious. I never have collected these.

Does not appear to be. Sorry.

CaptHenway · October 27, 2014 10:02AM

Does not appear to be the overdate. Sorry.

CoinWW2 · October 27, 2014 10:05AM

Why not? I am curious to see reasoning. I can't tell one way or another - but it looks like something suspicious is going on within the 8, and I believe I see the cud at 9 o'clock. Or maybe my eyes are just old - NAH, that can't be it.

OK may be.

As far as I can see, not a chance.

Yes, they are all right, definitely not, FS-301, Snow 1 (the only good one) always has the cud present on rim above TE in UNITED. Very tough variety

no rim cud = no real

Sorry

Wrong date position as well.

CoinZip · October 28, 2014 9:56AM

Re-punched Date maybe?

CoinWW2 · October 29, 2014 5:10AM

Actually - at this grade, the cud is nearly always gone with just a slight imprint.

EagleEye · October 29, 2014 5:40AM

You should still see the cud at this grade (Fine).

This is what the overdate part of a 1888/7 cent looks like.

The coin image posted by CoinWW2 shows something above the upper right side of the last 8.
This area is not where the 1888/7 overdate occurs.
It might be some other kind of repunched date, but it would take a better image to determine that.

There is a listing of known repunched dates and other varieties for 1888 at:

but not all have images.
