If that is an 8/5 it's not as obvious as others that I've seen.

To be honest though, I think I've only seen one or two other examples outside of your ebay store.

It could very well be a couple of perfectly-placed shadows. Are you looking at other markers?

I see a "Blundered I" on the obverse... good catch.

Ahhh, very nice.

A blundered I in AU53 :)...

My best one is an AU58 and there may be a couple of mint state examples out there but I've never seen them.

Nice coin, I see a small reverse die crack at 10:00 from stem to rim.

Nice blunder---congrats for a lovely coin. But I do not see a 8/5. If that combo existed it would be the rarest coin in Canada other than the DOTS.

I studied it very closely and could not see any 8/5 either.
Good catch with the 'blundered I' jealous I missed out on that one
