I bought a grab bag of Indian Head, Lincoln and Flying Eagle coins yesterday at a local coin shop for $20. The bag contained mainly Lincoln coins from the 1920's to 1950. There were five Indian Heads from 1899 to 1907 and two Flying Eagles 1858 and 1857. The 1857 is displayed below and after I looked at the reverse, I could see unusual lines. I believe this to be a Snow 8. What do the experts think?

Looks like a match to the PCGS 1857 1c Snow 8 die clash, but I am no expert in vintage cents. If it is, congratulations!

Yes, a known problem getting to that site from here.

Looks like it's the snow 8 variety. Great find - sounds like you got a great deal on that bag of copper cents!

A bag of old cents with Indians and two Flying Eagle at a coin shop for a mere $20 !? Had I been the customer, I'd not have left the shop without examining every coin therein! When this "dealer" comes down from his high, the prices are sure to rise! Holy smokes!!
