dzhuang Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 4:58 pm I bought this coin from an ebay dealer recently. To me it appears that the last 8 could have been repunched, so someone please verify that? Also, what are your opinions on the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21643 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 7:28 pm Much too small to see any defects. Look at the size of some of the other photos on this thread. Edited by JimmyD 06/29/2016 7:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dzhuang Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 9:27 pm Here are the larger photos. Apologies for the originals; I didn't realize how small they were. What's your opinion on grade and the potential repunch? Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 10:43 pm Looks convincing enough for a Double punched last 8. I had a DP888 for a while and looks consistent. As for grade VG-10 DBM: I love seeing the ebay sleuthing :) Edited by GregJG 06/29/2016 10:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dzhuang Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 08:25 am Yep, I got the coin on ebay :) As for the variety: it isn't the Double 888 http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-pri...t-1876-1901) , the DP last 8 is a different variety altogether. Correct me if I'm wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
