yeah...it couldn't hurt to check! Nobody knew about the 1888/7 for some 80 years.

Looks to me a Snow-3, just unsure which die pair. Unless Rick has done something different than every other die variety author, if it is an S-3 then it can be only one die pair. If it is the obv of S-3 with a different rev then it is a different variety and not S-3. |

In any case, there are variants within Snow-3: All with Obv 4 in die stages "A", "B", "C", paired with different reverses: "U", "G", "D", "B", "F". This is how Rick Snow names them, based on his analyis of the markers. He has classified them as Snow-3a, Snow-3b, Snow-3c, Snow-3d, and Snow-3e*. The reverse might narrow down the variety further, although it may be too worn to tell.  * pp. 123-5 The Flying Eagle & Indian cent Attribution Guide, 2e 1859-1869. |

Hmm...I looked through my Snow book at the various reverse markers for each die pair--I'm not sure I can narrow this one down any further.
Probably an expert like Rick Snow could!

OK, then he has done something no other die variety author has done. In every other series I know of a variety is one obv and one rev pairing. Change either one and it is a different variety or die marriage. I guess Indian Head cents are polygamous. |

Since the dates were punched in with a single four digit punch, the only way to make that a 9/8 would be to first puch the date in WAY too far to the left and then to punch it in again in the correct position.
