The higher digits aren't significant varieties although Davies listed the 8 higher in date for 1818 which is probably why it is listed in Spink. In this case the 8 is considerably more misaligned than yours being about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of a character higher. The 2 on the left coin looks bigger(?) in the picture.

HI Rob , yes the 2 is slightly bigger which makes it slightly higher i think

The right hand 1818 is a higher 8. Davies 85 if you want to know the variety number. There is an example illustrated in the DNW archive, lot 330 7/10/2003.
