grnwavdav Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 01:53 am I found my first 19th century doubled die the other day. It's a 1857 Flying Eagle cent. I am pretty sure this is the FS-101 (or Snow - 4) due to the spread, the missing wingtip, and the proximity of the last A in America and the tail feathers. Further, I ruled out S-3 because it was missing the thin doubling in the gap of the right leg of the "N" in UNITED. My example exhibits that doubling and S-4 (or FS-101) does as well. Are there any EF experts out there that can confirm this attribution? Report this Post to the Staff
