I've used the description "vanilla" for many years. It's something that is just plain and nothing special. I always use it to describe the 90%+ 1859's that are just vanilla, no sprinkles, no toppings, no nothing.

Does anyone see anything on this coin that would make you think it is an 8 over 5?

Gatewest is a pretty big dealer. You would think that they would know exactly what that variety was. Maybe a listing screwup with the photos?

Yes, Gatewest should know what they have when they put a price like that on a coin. What I see from photo is top left part of first 8 may have been tapped at some time. None of the other identifiers like doubling at certain parts of legend or die cracks appear to be on this one.

Thanks for clarifying "Vanilla" and it is fitting.
