Enjoying seeing everyone's opinions for grades lately so here's the latest large cent buy. What do you grade it and why if you like.

XF+. Don't think it makes AU. Are any of the 8's repunched? Could be 1, 2, or all three and sometimes the 1 as well.

Yes, the 2nd 8 is repunched, but none of the '88 repunches are worth/values any more than another. The scarcest of the '88's is finding one with NO indications of a repunch. So many were minted that year that all are fairly common.

The first 8 looks repunched as well, albeit on the other side of the 8

I have one more example for the 1888. Is this one also repunched on the last 8?
