Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 3:46 pm The three varieties for 1858 that I know of are the large and small letters variety and the 8/7 overdate. Your coin has separation between the A and M of America, so I think that makes it the small letters variety. The overdate variety is scarce and quite valuable in high grades but the overdate itself is hard to see. However, the eagle's right wingtip is visibly separated in this variety and your coin does not show this separation. Therefore, I don't think it is the overdate. I also don't believe the doubling in the letters represents a significant variety. I'd grade this cent at about Fine-15. At that level, it would not be worth paying the fee to have it graded, IMO.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/15/2007 1:26 pm Small letters - worth $40-$50, barely over the price to get it graded. My own personal opinion is that coins aren't worth sending to PCGS or NGC unless they are worth at least $100. Report this Post to the Staff
amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 12/16/2007 07:34 am Thanks of all the opinions! But the only reason I would get this graded is for we I am gone and my collections passes my son. I do not want them to get talk of money by a (edit) coin dealer Edited by amac44 12/16/2007 07:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
