CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 2:50 pm Picked this one from a coin shop I visited a couple days ago for $18. With my newest quest to complete a FEC PCGS circulation strike set, I also decided to collect as many flying eagle snow varieties as I can find, CPG listed examples being the top of the list. This is my first of the 3 big clashes, and although the most common, still another one crossed off the list. Hopefully it won't be too long until I find one of the other two but given their scarcity I'm not holding my breath. I think this coin makes AG-03 although I think it's possible a G-04 could scrape by. Thanks for taking a look! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 6:43 pm Thanks Gary! Frog, I agree it's possible there is an old cleaning but at this point it should be a straight grade coin. For $18 I'm not too concerned and these come up every so often so I'll get an upgrade in time. Looks pretty good in hand. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 7:17 pm You're probably right. But moot point I'm guessing since it's probably not worth the grading fees. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 8:39 pm It's not. I'd say this coin is in the $35-$45 range. If I end up with a VF example or better in my collection I would consider slabbing, maybe a high F example. Thanks for your input! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
