Forgive me, I'm not very familiar with Large Cent varieties. What makes this coin so valuable?

not all that uncommon for price to climb like that last minute,
2 bidders using auto-bid software can rattle off back and forth bids as fast as your bandwidth will allow.

Nice variety! That one is an early die state without the die crack through the C of VICTORIA. Here's what the very late state looks like.  Edited by Phil310

The 1881H Single Serif on N and this 1882H DD coin are both really scarce. It seems to me that the 1881H though is much more difficult to get than this coin. Would that be the community's general impression?

I think the 1881-H single serif N is a lot tougher to find. I would love to find one of those!

That was a great Obv 2/1 heavy doubled and, as Hounddog says, is worth much more than paid. I've collected Vicky large cents(varieties) heavy for over 30 years and only found 3 1881 single serifs. It is, by far, the toughest variety to find, not counting the brass '58 or '59. I can count on less than both hands the number of the single serifs that I even know to be in people's hands. I know of at least 30 of the 2/1 heavy doubling (I've had more than 5 and don't even look any more... it's scarce but certainly not rare.

Okie, I've never had a single serif 1881 in hand. And I've looked...a lot. I wish Canadian Trends was expanded to give some of these coins the profile and prominence they're due. It's time.
