<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TechNorris1625, post: 8033628, member: 129830&quot;]I currently have what I believe to be an 1888 8/7 Indian Head. I recently ended up noticing what appeared to be the 8/7 as I was fixing to sell this coin since it was a duplicate of what I already had. Thankfully I noticed it before selling it!</p><p><br /></p><p>As many of you are aware this coin is small and it is extremely difficult to see the 8/7. I am only able to see this with high exposure/flash and shooting it at the perfect angle. This is mainly due to the amount of corrosion located in this area of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I can tell I can clearly depict what looks like a &quot;7&quot; running through the middle of the last 8 even comes outside of the 8. I&#039;m also clearly able to see (again through photo only with high exposure/flash) the 7 moving down at an angle. At the bottom left of the 8, there is a raised area that is similar to the bottom of the 7 but it is corroded as well. Lastly, at the top left of the 8, you can slightly see what appears to be the top of the 7. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have taken the time to compare images from PCGS and Heritage Auction&#039;s past sales to see if what I have represents something that has already been proved. There is one example from Heritage Auction that clearly shows the 7 inside the top of the 8 running left to right and down which is what mine shows. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m currently looking at sending this into PCGS for grading/verification of 8/7 however I wanted to get some more input before doing so. Please see the attached pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>(Since I&#039;m new here I&#039;m not sure if this is even allowed but I do have a screen recording where I overlaid a known 8/7 PCGS graded coin with mine. I placed anchor points to align the coin, then placed anchor points on the known coins &quot;7&quot;. Lastly, I hide the known coin only leaving the anchor points which do align with mine.
