<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2215716, member: 1765&quot;]I wish that variety had never been listed as it is.&nbsp; There are likely many 1888 Morgans that show the last 8 like this.&nbsp; It was in the 4-digit date punch this way.&nbsp; Variations in polishing or depth of punch could exaggerate the thickness of the tops (or bottoms) of the 8.&nbsp; Looking at the picture of the full coin, the date looks to be at normal height, not slanted, and in the normal lateral position.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>VAM 28 has a doubled ear, also, which is the main diagnostic for that variety that I would use.&nbsp; The appearance of an inverted 8 should be a mere footnote for this variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
