divesww New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 3:09 pm I would appreciate any inputs on the grade of the 1858 Flying Eagle cent pictured and whether the vertical scratch through the tail would prevent an official grade value. Also, is the green stuff on the reverse removable and if not, how much will it affect the value of the coin? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 5:52 pm I think it's a nice AU coin that straight grades but I agree also that the reverse needs immediate treatment with Verdi-Care or a similar conserving agent.
