MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2018 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 7:33 pm Looks like the 8 over 7 variety. I see it as VF. Has the broken wing marker but hard to tell if it has the remnants of the 7 and the die chip above the 85 from these pics. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 9:13 pm VF20. Nice circulated Eagle, looks original. I'm not super familiar with varieties on these, though.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 10:35 pm I'll say VF-20 as well, nice example. Definitely the overdate. Edited by Coinfrog 11/08/2023 10:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1028 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 09:40 am Thanks everyone! I have it at a VF as well. Sure looks like the 1858/7 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2018 Posts	Posted 11/09/2023 11:47 am Yeah, PCGS lists two varieties of this overdate, a strong and weak versions. This appears to be the strong version with the 7 fairly prominent. Just difficult to see the die chip marker above the 85. In VF-20 it's about a $500 coin. Report this Post to the Staff
