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...

Are we all not collectors ? do we not all hope to find something very unique ?



Shouldn't he be on here (or other forums) discussing it, rather than putting up a clownish BIN on ebay? Something serious should look like it took more than five minutes to slap together.

Frankly, the 1858 large 5/5 cent blows this discovery away. How was that missed for 150 years?

It makes little sense it being a 8/5. Shouldn't it first be considered to be 8/7? Why would a mint employee working on a 1870 die have a 5 punch out at all? It looks like an 8 with two roundish bumps. In both cases, 5 or 7, you'd expect one side to look more like the angle (left for 5, right for 7) rather than round bumps.

It is well circulated (VG at best). Is there a possibility of PMD + time making this look like a repunch?

Hmm just the reason why I posted this, to create dialogue on an possible new and interesting variety, not a yawn to a Canadian collector and it may be a big deal. No! I have not listed anything on ebay for a 1,000,000 once let alone "thousands of times" so you may speak for yourself Scubu all the power to ya!
Now the Canadian 10 cent variety 8/5 Charlton Standard writes "An interesting variety occured through a dating blunder in which a "5" punch was used to repair a defective first 8. This coin sells at a high premium there is an AU55 example listed for auction for $9500. I can not tell for certain but the last A in Canada of the 1870 example listed shows doulbling that is similar to the A on an example of a 1858 8/5 10 cent that I have. Perhaps I will contact the seller and see if he can send a close up of the A or ask the question.
I believe the reason for these forums it to encourage and promote dialogue about the hobby.

nice to see collector kind of agrees with me on this one..Its amazing how fast others will jump before really looking into things...So what 1,000000 or what ever amount..The fact is it is what it is and I'm sure he put it here for everyone to help maybe find another proving there was a die blunder just as collector states of the 1858 ..

Its time to hunt the 1870's in case
