I won this 1857 Flying Eagle on ebay, but have not yet received it.

From the seller's photo it looks like there might be a horizontal Die Cud (?) on the eagle's front wing. Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall seeing a similar coin listed as a Snow variety, but I'm not sure about it.

Can anyone help me with this?

Of course, it could just be a fuzzy photo.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all CCF members!

I could be wrong about this, but it is my understanding that a Cud by itself is not listed as a variety, but is considered just a die state. There is a variety (S16)with multiple digits in the eagle's neck and upper breast, and there is a also a Cud in the middle of the eagle (not the same as yours). However, the Cud merely serves as a marker to help in identifying the variety. I hope this helps.
