I would say AU58, looks to me to be some light rub on the eagle's breast. Otherwise, a nice strike on the obverse, a littler weaker on the reverse.

Low MS, 62 or so.I dont see the wear David sees. But then my eyes arent what they used to be. LOL
I see what is making sandman worry, and he may be right, but not sure. At worst you are looking at an AU58 details cleaned reverse. As I said, send her off to ANACS and pay for research on the coin. I know squat about varieties, but if what the others are pointing out is so, then you want that attribute as well.

the snow variety I was thinking of is the S4 - missing wing tip hub, a bit different than yours. In this variety, the first S in STATES shows a double die. Just to rule it out, can you post a closeup of this letter, or otherwise look at it under a magnifying glass and see if you see any doubling?

the broken wing tip hub is actually the 1858 LL, and is S1. this is what yours looks like, so either you have a new variety, or your wing took a hit. Sent it to Rick Snow and get it examined for $4.

Looks like MS detail but I can't tell if the coin has been cleaned. So many Flying Eagle cents have been "improved" with results ranging from extremely subtle to totally nasty. A coin like this should be vetted by a grading service to get a professional confirmation of problem-free status. For what it's worth, looks pretty nice to me! |

Rick only charges $4 to attribute and grade the coin. If he doesn't see any evidence of cleaning, then I would have him send it in to a TPG. He includes the attribution with the coin when he sends it in. Much cheaper than paying variety fee and taking a $35-$50 gamble with a TPG. Just my Two Cents... Edited by Drsandman2

I find it hard to determine cleaning from pics of FEs. I see a nicely struck, low MS coin ~MS62 |

I would say AU 58 also. The obverse looks very nice, I cant get a good feel for the reverse from the pictures.

Can you adjust the white balance on your camera?

I tried adjusting the white balance and it seems like that didn't work either. Looks like this coin will be getting sent to Rick Snow in the near future. :)
