collectinsince65 Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 10/03/2018 4:39 pm Have this new purchase 1858 Flying Eagle which appears to have been struck out of collar based on the lower reverse 'dents'. Is this an accurate statement? Report this Post to the Staff

ZenFE99 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 10:22 am Could someone be a bit more specific as to what feature makes the OP think it's a broadstrike (not my specialty, honestly curious)? I tend to think MAD as Raymo says... Nice coin btw! Report this Post to the Staff
Badger Mint Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 11:49 am Check the diameter at various points and compare them to a known collar struck coin's diameter. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 12:30 pm I have to agree with a slight MAD strike. If it was a broadstrike (struck out of collar) the diameter of the coin would be much greater as there would be nothing to hold the coin from spreading when struck. Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 12/25/2018 11:54 am Sorry to be so late on this but it was common for the reverse dies to be slightly misaligned on this ever-so-short-lived series. Report this Post to the Staff
