Quote: cannot tell with these pixelated close up images. Totally agree, like trying to attribute the coin through a screen door.

Ill try to get pics through transfer by usb or memory card. I tried via usb cord but failed to get anything except a blue screen. I have to look into exactly how to do it. Thanks for everyone's insight so far.

The memory card is usually easier. I use a cheap USB memory card reader that works on my phone and laptop. They are around $10 on Amazon.

It does look like an over date, but hard to tell from the photos provided. There seems to be a diagnostic partial Cud by the E D in united. I hope you post better pictures of the 8. Include a reverse picture. The top points of the shield should be connected to the denticles according to Rick Snow.

We'll wait for the new pictures from the OP, which can also be taken with a Phone Camera.

I am going to make a new post with pics transferred from usb I guess to maybe be on people's radar better. I am new to this forum, and I cannot figure out how to delete posts. I would delete this one and make the new one, preferably. If a moderator sees this, please delete this one. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Nevermind, I see that replying brings a post back to the top of the list. I will attempt to add pics in a reply.

MUCH better images, and yes, it is a good idea to keep your newer images here in one topic, the folks here will re-visit your newer images.
Thank you for making the effort to produce the images, (just need to work on focus now-but not a show stopper).

Im surprised that no one has mentioned this before, a 1888/7 is not an error, it is a variety, big difference. Looking at your latst pictures, I do not thik it is a variety, the top left marker does not appear to be the same. Even the newer pictures do not show the upper right marker that clearly. The bottom of the eight could be damage. Unless the markers are very clear, a TPG will not attribute it regardless of other markers.

It sure looks like the base of the 7 is protruding at the base of the 8. The Cud is in the right place on the ED in united. You may have a winner. A picture of the reverse would be helpful to see if the tips of the shield are touching the denticles.

I am curious what the community thinks about these latest photos. I still think it has the 1888/7 attributes. I looked at an MS graded coin and it has matching attributes. The rear shield looks like a match. Unfortunately, a cleaning or conservation may be needed to clearly reveal the tip of the 7 and the base of the 7 on the last 8.
