Is this an 8/8?

It is certainly an 8.

Looks like an 8/8 to me.

If it is a Lincoln cent - no. Plating "skip" let the zinc corrode around the "8."

It's a Newfoundland cent.

Then it is possibly an 8/8 but I don't see anything in the catalogue. Just a suggestion. The next time you post a coin let us know the country, date, and denomination. Saves time and you'll probably get a better response.

Could have been an 8 ball that spent to much time
on the pool table.:)

LOL, 2nd image was not (?) on my computer. That's why my Lincoln cent post. Glad you did not disagree!

Cannot find a listing for RPD so check one of the foreign coin forms. If no one has seen this listed you have a neat piece. North American coins from Canada and the provinces are ripe for varieties. Most unlisted in the Canadian books.

Even better there are several Canadian coin sites. I checked four with no result for 8/8.

Good luck and let us know.

What's an 8/8? Doubled die? Machine doubling? Repunched?

I agree with Wabbit. It's an 8 for sure.

It certainly appears to be a restruck 8.....I see no record of one in reference materials... could be a discovery coin... Cheers, RickO

Looks like a repunched 8 to me.
