This 1874 5 centavos from Mexico has a strange looking date. It appears as if two different styles of numerals were used. Is this the 1874 "crude date" from the Chihuahua mint (KM# 398.1)? Does anyone know of a recent sale of one on Ebay or elsewhere?

Pretty dramatic difference in size of the numeral punches, but from that part of the world at that time, I am not surprised though.
