1880 IHC PUN-? Broken punch. Trouble identifying Wich!

I know it is no big deal but I would still like to narrow down Wich. I am thinking a 1880 PUN-008 may be a later die state?

    Filled die?

    It's definitely in the "Broken 8's" family.

    Since it isn't a 100% match to any of the catalogued "PUN" numbers with pictures - without clear full obverse photos to check the other die markers, I can't tell if it's a later die state of PUN 4/5/8 or an earlier die state of PUN 7. (Or even another PUN)

    I'll give you this - you're getting better at pre-checking your varieties and presenting... actual varieties!

    @EagleEye may have a better idea.

    Thank you! I concur I should have posted the reverse and a full picture!

    Its a broken digit punch. S3 is Broken 2nd 8. There are at least 5 different dies identified so far.
