jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 12:28 am I have a 1857 old holder NGC ms-64 Flying Eagle cent. It is obverse of 1856 variety. The variety is not noted on the holder. Is it worthwhile to reholder with variety attribution? I plan to sell it. Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 12:12 pm There is a premium for this variety, but not sure if it would be worth resubmitting. I personally would send to Rick Snow for a photoseal. He can designate the variety as well on the holder. Best part about that is you will get high quality images too. Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 6:14 pm That's a no brainer! Go see him and get the photoseal. He will give you a fair offer too, or consign it with him and probably walk away with more than ebay after fees. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 12:20 am Rick Snow doesn't think it is obverse of 1856 variety, but may be a "hybrid" die. He didn't elaborate. I'm going to put it up for auction. Report this Post to the Staff
