1879-S Morgan

[Garrett2012]

This coin is actually graded by NGC. MS-65+ grade. However, my question to anyone who can help is about the date. If you look at the pictures, the "8" in 1879 looks to be stamped over something, possibly another "8". It could be nothing but to me it just looks different. I was wondering when this coin was graded if it might could have been missed. Looking at the bottom of the "8" hole you can see what I am talking about, then at the top hole it is full. I attached a same year PCGS graded coin and this "8" is different and doesn't have anything in the bottom or top holes of its date.  

Thanks for any input.

Thank you for your question. I copied the link to our variety plus page below which shows the varieties that NGC attributes. Unfortunately, we do not recognize a repunched date variety for this coin.
