kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:08 pm Well, if I'm reading Snow's guide correctly you've got a good one. It's NOT overstruck; it's an RPD. I see it as an S4, 1881 88/88 (e). (e) means "east". His guide describes it as, "This is a very bold repunched date and is very rarely seen." Report this Post to the Staff
vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:49 pm Hello Kanga, Thanks alot for this information. Is there anything on the internet about it? I try to find it with your explenation but Can't find anything. Maybe there are some US sites which describe more about this one? So if I See it correct this one is an repunched date on 1888? Not familiar with all the short notes. Whe don't have that here. Thx, Report this Post to the Staff
beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:58 pm I agree that is an S(SNOW)-4. It would probably grade G/VG. The variety probably does not carry much of a premium but it is still a nice coin to have. Rick Snow is considered 'the' expert on IHC and FE. He has a published an attribution guide that covers all the varieties for these coins. You can purchase a guide at his web site at Eagle Eye coins. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 3:36 pm It looks like the S-4 for 1881, with the 88/88 inside the top loops. It's a "two-star" variety in the Snow guides, which means "2-3X premium". It's not one of the real high-demand varieties which include the 1869/9, 1867/67, 1873 DDO, 1887 DDO, 1888/88 (& the biggie 1888/7) 1894/1894, 1897 "1 in neck", which sell easily in any grade. Realistically, I would grade around VG8, a $5 coin, so maybe a $10 coin to a variety collector. Report this Post to the Staff
