Choice to Gem Uncirculated, with an unusual Obverse feature. Just above the "8" in the date is a "blob", which at first blush has the appearance of the base of a "2". It would make no sense to have had such a date digit punched into a die in 1908, so I assume it was most likely a form of die damage. Such things most commonly occurred from something falling into the coining chamber, back in the screw press days. There is also small signs of something similar to the left of the offending mark - certainly a curiosity and perhaps worthy of someone's study of the matter. And the coin itself isn't chopped liver either!

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
