1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 10:54 am There is a "Large Letter" and "Small Letter" types in 1858. There is an 8/7 RPD for the LL and a DDR for the SL. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 11:05 am Thank you, sikevo; are you aware PCGS lists an 1858 FE DDO http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.ch..._indian_cent Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 11:06 am Strike that; I'm trying to do too many things at once. There is no 58 FE DDO listed. My apologies. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 11:08 am Hehe. Rick Snow's FE guide is at home. Time to do some reading after work. Nice FEs. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 3:10 pm Did you mean an 1857? That's what I see in your images. As for a DDO, I can't tell from your pics, but the attribution guides might show the markers. Regarding LL 1858 DDOs, Rick Snow lists 8 different varieties, including one that is a 58/7 overdate (Snow-7) For 1857, I see 9 DDO varieties at his wiki resource. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/18/2008 4:15 pm Yes, I meant the 57 DDO...sorry for the confusion...the pics are right; my subject title and posts were wrong. I can see what looks like Machine Doubling on the letters and something unusual on the date. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/19/2008 01:01 am Where do you see something unusual on the date of your coin? I see what might be a die crack running through the 1, and perhaps something in the lower loop of the 8. As a comparison, here's a date taken from a 57 I own. I see some weird stuff on the 8,5, and 7. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/19/2008 05:40 am There higher ridges that rise from the numbers on the dates....look closely at the tops of the 8, 5, and 7...and if you can see it, there is machine doubling(?) on the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
