Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 8:01 pm I was on ebay last week looking at Flying Eagle cents and I noticed the coin displayed below, advertised as an 1858 Small Letter variety. It looked to be in VF to XF grade. As I looked at the ebay photos of the coin, I noticed it was not Small Letters and it had a broken Wingtip. The next thing I saw was that the coin had the Strong overdate attributes. At any rate I bought the coin and received the coin today. I don't think the seller knew what he had. He mainly sold foreign coins. I got a great deal on a nice example of this overdate variety. Report this Post to the Staff
