Misterpostman Valued Member Australia 208 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 09:42 am Bought these at about 25% of Red Book, assuming that the FE cent is NOT an overdate, which I think it is. I can't get a clear enough close up photo to download. I see an extension from the 7 at the top right of the 2nd 8, faint, but it is there + the break in the eagles wing tip, but not the dot in the field above the first 8. It may have worn off as the coin is VG. I will take the FE cent to an LCS for an expert opinion, then I can be certain. In any case, a nice group of coins well below market value. The Queen Victoria Canadian 5 cent is worth about $10. Edited by Misterpostman 08/01/2015 09:48 am Report this Post to the Staff

Misterpostman Valued Member Australia 208 Posts	Posted 08/03/2015 08:13 am Probably not. I did buy some sterling silver jewelry at the estate sale, but wrote about mostly base metal coins. I have reposted my 1858/7 query to the general coin forum. Report this Post to the Staff
Misterpostman Valued Member Australia 208 Posts	Posted 08/13/2015 7:17 pm I went to the offices of ANACS in Colorado, they say it is NOT an overdate. Planning to sell it on ebay as a VG 1858 FE cent for $30. Report this Post to the Staff
