CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 4:04 pm Cherry-picked this last week for $49 shipped. You guys must be sick of seeing 1858/7's from me by now . My third Snow-1, but my first example to not show the overdate itself due to wear. I also included images of the other 3 tell-tale markers for me: Interrupted wing tip, weakly struck AMERICA, and the chips on the reverse. I've used all of these markers to identify my previous examples as well. Another notable marker is the right side of the reverse being weakly struck, but this was a common issue with 1858 FEC's, so should not be used as a telltale sign. Just another cherry on top for attributing. The main pickup point for me has always been the errant 1 in the field above the date (pictured with an arrow below), or the overdate itself when visible. To my knowledge the reverse marker is only present on EDS examples, so I'm guessing that the wear this coin received over time has worn down that underlying "7" since it is not visible to my eyes. I think this coin fits nicely at F-15. This coin will probably end up in a new home since I've already got a couple more. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. Thank you so much for taking a look! -CH27 Link to my previous '8/7 if you'd like to see how this looks in higher grade with strong markers: http://goccf.com/t/438871 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 05/23/2023 4:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 5:56 pm Fine catch! .... Does this variety occur on both the LL & SL varieties? I have a number of counterstamped 1858's. I'll need to check them out! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 6:17 pm Thanks everyone! This is exclusively a large letters variety. You can still check small letters for errors and for the high leaves reverse too! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 05/25/2023 6:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
