Coin #1 in Barry's study

The second of these Wide Date, Large "8" varieties, has a some interesting differences in comparison to its previously listed relative. The most noteable of these can be seen on the Last "8" in the date, which appears to be unusually Larger than either of the other two "8's"! In addition, it has been Repunched leaving the outline of the original digit clearly visible on both the inside and outside of this Numeral (in fact, all of the Numerals of this date have been Repunched but it is only prominent on the final "8") . Also, its Date is not quite as Wide as it is with the previous variety.
