About this coinHistory

This variety combines the 8/7 overdate obverse with the Reverse of 1878 (Flat Breast) die, making it a doubly significant variety coin: an overdate paired with the earlier reverse hub. Collectors who track both obverse and reverse varieties catalog this die marriage separately from the standard 8/7 overdate paired with the Reverse of 1879. The dual variety status adds collector interest, and examples in high grade command premiums above either the standard overdate or the standard Reverse of 1878 alone.
