dont see an over date As I understand it @idk, the overdate itself isn't always visible, but this variety can be successfully identified via certain other markers, such as an interrupted wing tip. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

What about the unwritten rule, find the error/variety first then match markers? John1  |

Nice pickup, if it's indeed the real deal. Errers and Varietys.

I can't quite wrap my head around it, but congrats. I guess I'm in the John1 camp on this one.

One of dozens of obscure varieties in the IHC series that don't fetch much of a premium in well-circulated grades. |

This is actually considered to be the strong overdate variant. The top right part of the 7 sticks out above the 8. This is not an obscure variety and it commands a significant premium. I believe this is the top variety in the flying eagle series. I don't have my snow book with me, but I'm certain he gives this 5 stars out of 5 for collectibility and premium.

Just saying that I don't think you'll get much of a premium if you try to sell it in this grade.  |

Thanks to all for the discussion on this coin. I learn what other collectors think and value. This particular variety is a 5 star coin per Rick Snow. According to Snow the "strong" version is the only one to collect. The so-called "weak" version has no premium above the normal 1858 mintage coin. I have been looking for this variety of coin for many years. When I cherry-pick one I am always excited. I potentially have found another one and it is currently in shipment. If it turns out to be the overdate, I will post it.
