Lucky me you didn't win it. But I must admit my bid was much higher that the winning bid. Also even it turned out that it wasn't a real 1858 5/8(I am a novice for spotting these still(I did know it was after I got my charlton and read the A of Canada was doubled so my only hint was the little horn from the 8)) I would have been fine with it because of the other dimes in the lot.
Thanks your kids for me, mine was long gone to bed :). You must be pacific time? Kids so late?!
Darn Romanian ;)
Any follow up on wether he sold it or not?

He put it on ebay at least 3 times over a 6 month period...but I didn't see it in the past year, so perhaps he succeeded. very hard to get at VF and above. |

Not initially...initially he listed it for $100 or $200 but someone wrote to him, he cancelled the auction, then relisted for $3000. That makes cherry picking on ebay more difficult, people willing to "spoil the hunt" ;) |

My local dealer currently has one for sale in F. Got to look at it the other day, rarity aside, I couldn't bring myself to drop 2.5K on a coin that is slightly different from regular 1858 at 30x the price. Although, those are some really nice coins you guys got there  |

Before putting up good money, ensure it is certified and has
the three diagnostic reverse die-cracks. p.s. he is wanting
top dollar at that price, but they are difficult to obtain.

A horizontal Die-Crack from the leaf to rim at 9 o'clock.
A vertical Die-Crack is from near the upper right edge of
the Crown to the rim.
A long somewhat vertical (diagonal) Die Crack extends across
the mid-section of the reverse.

Thanks for that. The only I could find/see was the left die crack. No trace of the others. Mine is low grade. For me, where I saw that it was, was of course the 8/5 but when I had it in hand the A of Canada.

Boro...D/D in DEI and A/A in CANADA...There is only one die pair for the 1858/1558.
That being said, the D/D in DEI and A/A in CANADA also shows up WITHOUT the 1858/1558. It is a SEPARATE variety.

Wow you are right. I read it but I forgot! It was saying that is it interesting that the 1858/1558 has two different dies. Obverse and reverse... Thanks for helping me remember that rather important part.
So how many coins would it possible to have for one single die?
