RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1021 Posts	Posted 06/16/2014 5:36 pm Any takers? I dont think this is "the one" after looking at a number of past sold on heritage. The Cuds on the left of the obverse look too small and there are no other markers shown in the pictures. The date also seems to be placed in a slightly different position compared to known examples. I'm guessing someone will take a big gamble though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/35109430890...RK:MEBIDX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 06/16/2014 5:55 pm I know next to nothing about IHs - are you referring to 1888/7? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 06/16/2014 9:28 pm I think anyone would be crazy to bid on this coin as a possible (S1) 1888/7. The photo is very clear and the diagnostics are not there. Report this Post to the Staff

Not sure of the variety And yet the seller still claims it's an overdate! When people buy a scarce coin with an "S" mintmark, they expect to actually see it. But no such proof is needed for a coin to be a "variety" on eBay--just a fool's hope that you have scored big. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 2:25 pm The Cud is to far up the coin and the bump looks like it's from a hit on the 8. Report this Post to the Staff
