numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 01/07/2009 01:05 am Does anyone know what Snow # this might be for my 1857 FE Cent. I don't have the Snow book. The coin also has a doubled eye I could post. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/07/2009 01:19 am Nice...that definitely looks like a DDO to me. Update: I'm pretty sure it's the 1857 S3 Doubled die obverse, Broken wing tip (hub). FS-105; DDO-008 Here's the best photo I could pull from Heritage with correlating markers noted. You can see another auction photo from Stack's here. Just to make sure, I pulled an image for the Snow-4. (This variety has an intact but reduced wingtip) Report this Post to the Staff
desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 01/07/2009 01:36 am I suspect it is FS1-002, CONECA 2-O-I, Snow 4B from the photos. It has the broken wing tip like yours, and the doubling of the motto. Another marker is a die scratch from the T in UNITED to the wing. The eye and date would also help to confirm it.

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 01/07/2009 02:21 am Thanks for the opinions y'all. I've got a Snow book on order. I got it just to reference this coin & others I might get. Do these DDO being only in XF have a premium ? Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 01/07/2009 02:28 am OK, here's the eye. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

It's a collectible variety, especially as a DDO Nice closeup of the eye, and cool how the feathers are doubled too. Here are a few details you can compare to the Snow book. On the right is a Snow-4 (source: Rick Snow). On the left is your coin. The eye on your eagle is more widely doubled. Report this Post to the Staff
