Far scarcer than its Proof counterparts from the 1880s, the Proof 1908 has a relatively small mintage of 1,620 coins. Distribution was divided between 545 coins in the silver Proof sets and 1,075 coins in the minor Proof sets. Snow-PR1 is the more frequently encountered of the two known die marriages, attributable by repunching to the digits 19 in the date.
