The die cracks are what caught my eye I really like the coin unfortunatly it's overpriced $599. It has some character I also like the stong strike on Cent on the reverse.  |

Nice EF! I doubt she'll go EF-45 but who am I to make any final decision? It's a nice first year coin.

EF-40, is that doubling on her forehead, or just the way the photo was taken?

received the coin today borderline EF 40, but an interesting coin. Shaft there is no doubling on the forehead. There is extra metal between the forehead and the bottom laurel leaf almost like an extra berry by the I in DEI. Also there is a dot a 4 o clock and above the 0 in 10 cent on the reverse and other minor relief bumps. Reverse die cracks between 3 and 4 ,at 12,and at 9 o clock. there is something goin on with the denticles at 6-8 o clock on the reverse. Then there are the obverse die cracks mentioned above also there is a small 1 at 7 o clock and the last A in Gratia has slight doubling

No I paid $225 which was a little high but, I also watched this coin close to a year it start at $999 I had made a lower offer last Aug. In hand I would not have paid what I did. I am not too disappointed with the coin it is a very interesting die state. I have several over 20 1858 10 cents.
