Featuring the reverse style (rounded breast) of 1879, this popular overdate is distinguished from its Low 7 counterpart by looking for where traces of the 7 are to be found in and around the second 8 of the date. With the High 7, the horizontal bar of the ghostlike 7 can be seen within the top half of the upper loop in the 8, with only a tiny notch visible under the bottom loop of that same 8. This is a very scarce variety in all grades and particularly so above MS66, in which case it is rare. PLs and DMPLs are rare in all grades and very rare in the Gem range, commanding huge premiums across the MS spectrum.
