Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 02:21 am I purchased this Flying Eagle recently as an 1858 LL. The ebay screen shot was very small and I could not make out smaller details, but the coin looked like it was in VF condition and I thought it was a good buy. When I got the coin, I observed that it had the attributes of an overdate. split wingtip, die chip above first 8, tip of 7 above last 8 and a reverse die marker. I think the reverse right side is usually weak. Are there any other attributes to identify this variety? Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 11:12 am Looks genuine and in VF, close to XF condition to me. All of the markers are there and the 7 is bold enough too. Great acquisition! Are you going to slab it? Edited by MisterT 02/26/2024 11:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 11:49 am Great replies thanks to all. I am thinking about slabbing the coin. What are the benefits of slabbing any coin other then authentication? Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 12:58 pm Firstly in my opinion your coin grades VF-35. Secondly, if slabbed by PCGS it would carry a value between $550-$800 depending on the assigned grade. It would also be beneficial to have PCGS professionally conserve the coin by treating any verdigris. This is the "strong" 7 variety. Here is a link to the PCGS site with info on your coin. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...-strong/2022 Report this Post to the Staff

Grade, authentication, attribution in this case, preservation, conservation. Not sure if this coin would benefit from conservation. What's going on on the reverse 7:00-9:00? Lamination or retained strike-through? The obverse seems to have a flat spot in the rim near S opposite the reverse issue. Report this Post to the Staff
