Poll Question
The 2008w Eagle with 2007 rev...
I see alot of folks calling this an "error".
I find it hard to see it that way.
What do you error-philes think?
Personally I just see it as one of 2
varieties available this year.
Not really an "oops!" kind of error.

Neither one.
It's an unintended occurrence - a variety that happens to be scarce. There's no "error" and they didn't make them to sell them as two different reverses, so neither of your vote statements stick.

Chuckster - Any 2007 would have the same reverse as the scarce 2008. Most 2008s have the 2008 reverse. The biggest part of the difference is on the U of UNITED. The 1007 reverse has no 'downstroke' on the right side of the U. The 2008 reverse does.
The differences are pretty obvious when you observe the two reverses together.

I order 2 of everything I get from the mint... I was lucky enough to get one of each! I will say, comparing them side by side, the 2008 rev is much nicer. It doesn't look like a big difference in pics, but they really sharpenend up the details. The 2008 rev almost looks like a 'reverse proof', it's that pretty on the burnished planchet. The 2007 rev looks almost softly struck in comparison. Just my .02 from comparing. Coppercoins: You have a point. Really what you said is what I was trying to get at in my poll answer, I just didn't have the wording clarity you brought to the discussion.  |

Just because they didn't deliberately make them to sell doesn't make it any less of being one of two varieties possible this year. I agree though, it isn't an error. It is a mule though. |

The mint came out and said there are around 45K of these, there was an article in Coin World this week. I picked on up as that is a pretty low population. |

Would be better if there were only 45... no "k"!

I feel prices will go way up if the Dansco's and Whitmans put this in their albums, if they do then the price will go way up. I picked one up on speculation, I am betting on them increasing in price as more collectors find out about the two types.

chrsb, Hi, I saw you here,and thought I would pop in and let you know that I finally got a list of my needs, in the '09-'40's. I'll give you first shot with the rolls, and then post in the "wantabuy",for the singles that we can't come up with. This is a follow-up on the emails.
Dick
