<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 599171, member: 15199&quot;]Most of the counterfeits I have seen are of the high rarity 1888/7 Snow 1 with exagerrated &quot;7&quot;. Snow mentions in his book there are only about 30 of those known.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1888/887 or 1888/7 ( some list) Snow S-2 is the one I think is mine above ( not certified) with the &quot;bar&quot; in the upper loop of the last 8, and visible repunched 88 in front of that. A diagnostic is the serif of a misplaced &quot;1&quot; protruding from the bead/neck. Reverse has a die crack from rim @ 7:30 through wreath to 9:30.</p><p>However, there is debate as to if this is really a &quot;/7&quot;.</p><p><a href="http://www.fly-inclub.org/is%20it%20an%20overdate.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fly-inclub.org/is%20it%20an%20overdate.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fly-inclub.org/is%20it%20an%20overdate.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The big money one sees listed for the 1888/7 is for the S-1. But be careful as I have seen the S-2 listed at the same pricing, but it is worth much less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
