<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ctrl, post: 356768, member: 13378&quot;]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still learning how to really identify error coins and was hoping you smart guys could help me out here. I was going through a few bags of wheaties and indian cents and came across an 1888 cent, so I checked the date to see if it had an overdate. While I myself don&#039;t really see the signs of a 7 poking out from the upper left or lower left, it is very easy to see on this coin that the final 8 is very much more bold than the other numbers. I read that there are varieties that are not as clear to see the overdate. </p><p><br /></p><p>These pictures give a little example of the date, I&#039;ll try to get a better image of the difference, but in-hand it&#039;s very striking how much more bold the last 8 is. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is that an indication of a restrike on that last 8, or just normal for these issues?</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
