To Wes , who commented about using a 5 instead of an 8...I think what happens is perhaps a simple error ..They reach for 8 but instead they grab a 5 ..they do sort of look the same ..When they realise what they done the simply take back the already punched coins and redo the 5 with an 8 on top....There are other stranger errors like the 1886 quarter series? a 6 over 3, another is 6 over 7 ect.... So back then it was a common occurence to make this type of error..Look at all the double punched dates and letters on the Victorian series...
