The '6' and the '5' show the doubling. Less so the '1' and I do not see it on the '8.' Picture enlarged from original photo.

I am one of the watchers so you can eliminate one as a threat - I am rooting that you get it!

I would grade this at EF-45 and I believe you'd enjoy this coin for a LONG time. It has a lot of good things going for it.

Jon, I could get the money in several weeks. I'm in the process of selling some of my coins. That would be very helpful, though.

Based on the amount of watchers and the condition of the coin, I don't think it will still be available in two weeks when I get enough money to pull the trigger.

Hard to swallow, I know, but there will always be another in your future if it does sell...........

I know but the tiger striped-like toning and variety... I have a back up plan and a few other coins in mind, though, so I suppose I won't be too sad

That date doubling makes that a really neat coin. This kind of doubling reminds me of the 1844/81 and 1851/81 overdate Large Cents in that it does help to look at the date upside down and then that extra thickness comes to light.

I was looking over my monthly budget trying to figure out how I could get enough to buy it. I didn't get it accomplished in time.
