Need some more light in those pictures. Date looks like it is in the wrong spot though. The "1" is too far forward to the front of the bust.

I'm not excluding it but we get at least one of these a month and 99% are always "not an 1888/7".
Yeah, can you lighten the pics?

Even though the photos are very poor, this is not an 1888/7. Date position is wrong and I don't see a Cud at 9:00 on obverse. Remember this is the top IHC variety and very few examples are known. |

vermontensium - are you sure only 99% of them are not real. ;)

Well, to be fair, I posted one a few months ago on here that I knew was real, nobody else agreed with me, and now I have it in a PCGS holder, so you never know! But this one here is not the 1888/7.

Anyone who finds an actual Snow-1 1888/7 deserves a good amount of fanfare. I try to notice any genuine IHC finds posted to CCF  Regarding the OP's coin--  I can see the date position is different from the Snow-1--markers pictured below:  Edited by DVCollector

 Wow-- I just don't get that conversation. I mean, even with slightly fuzzy pics the overdate is abundantly clear--the date position is spot-on; the 8/7 is very obvious, even the weak 8th feather tip is there--n o arrows are needed:   A big congratulations from all of us IHC variety seekers here!

Sorry you missed out on the ticker-tape parade you would get here. I mean, this is a hard to find, most sought-after IHC variety. I understand a certain amount of skepticism, but when the markers are staring you in the face--it's time to celebrate!  |
