Description
Rare and Valuable 1888 Snow-2 Cent
MS63 Red and Brown, Repunched Date
1888 1C MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. Snow-2, FS-302. When Bill
Fivaz discovered this variety in July 1990, he called it an 1888/7
Die #2 Overdate. A decade later, Indian cent specialist Dr. Tim
Larson questioned its overdate status, and today it is called a
repunched date, although Fivaz calls it a "Possible Overdate" in
the fifth edition of the Cherrypickers' Guide. Regardless,
it is an important and popular variety, and this lovely piece is an
excellent representative, exhibiting considerable deep orange mint
brilliance on the lustrous brown surfaces. The rarity of this
variety is underscored by the sale of an MS63 Brown example in our
2008 Long Beach Auction (5/2008), which realized $5,463.(Registry values: N491)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 228G, PCGS# 2167, Greysheet# 1381)
