1888 variety
I have a 1888 large cent. The last 8 is definitely lower than the rest. Has anyone heard any mention of this variety?

Yes, 1888's are riff with varieties. You can have 1, 2, or all three 8's repunched in different ways and the last digit was handpunched into each working die, so its position varies from die to die. High, low, near, far are all pretty common.
