Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 05/05/2016 09:01 am Hi fourmack, As you probably know there are many 1888's with all three 8's re-punched. However of them all there's perhaps three maybe four that really stand out and can easily be seen. It would help if I could see the reverse. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1221 Posts	Posted 05/06/2016 11:04 am After looking at the reverse I'm not sure what discussion your referring to. I don't see any doubling on the eight's and this obverse is from the group that's most common. There is a very nice coin with all eight's distinctly repunched that does have a die crack at the V in VICTORIA but it's to the outside of the V. Perhaps your thinking of this coin? The coin shown has a faint die crack at the V in VICTORIA it's hard to see in the picture's so I also included a photo of the die crack from a coin that's in a later die state.
