I won this 1857 Flying Eagle cent on ebay that has a large Cud on the wing. I haven't received the coin yet, so I'm working off of the seller's photos, but I think it might be "Snow 16" listed as having the Cud and digits from the dates in the eagle's feathers.

Do folks think that is what it is? I don't know if there are other varieties with this wing Cud. Thanks.

I think I may have answered my own question. I just realized that earlier this year I posted about another 1857 FEC I thought might be "Snow 16".

This one, fortunately, is a lot nicer.

I guess a few of the old brain cells are still functioning.

That Cud sure didn't bother the owners who used it to buy who knows what back then
