DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 03:22 am That's a nice coin, but judging from the style of the legends, it's a regular 1857. The rectangular interior shape of the "O" in "OF" and the flared serifs are diagnostic for the 1856 obverse type. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 4:44 pm Rick Snow has probably written the definitive books on Flying Eagle and Indian Head cent varieties. I have a few, and I have found them very useful. Report this Post to the Staff

There are a whole bunch of books, but there is no one book or site that shows everything, there is just too much. Report this Post to the Staff
