roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 12:08 pm Hi all! I just came upon this 1857 Flying Eagle cent (bought because it looked interesting) and wanted some help with A. Clearly a Double die but which snow variety? N and T have clear doubling 2nd A of AMERICA is very thick suggesting doubling B. The right hand side of the obverse has something going on and I can't tell what it is. Reverse looks normal Report this Post to the Staff

There is a rim Cud above STATES that you can see easy on higher examples that I believe you can see on yours. Here's my example (rough photos, it was a while ago): http://goccf.com/t/368150 Very cool find! FEC doubled dies are super cool! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 3:42 pm Thank you coinhunter27....Upon more careful examination, I believe you are correct! I was stuck on Snow 10 because my cherry pickers shows that one with the N doubling and the S-4 picture focuses on the A of America. I coan also see the rim Cud and the doubling on the lower serif of C. Just Carl---You must collect Shield nickel double dies if this one is too minor for you, its actually a pretty wide spread! & Report this Post to the Staff

Again, nice find! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
