Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 06/19/2025 7:56 pm I saw a posting on ebay for a 1858 LL Flying Eagle for a "Buy it Now" price of $49. After looking at the coin online, I noticed all of the attributes of a the 1858/7 overdate and so I bought the coin. I got the coin today and sure enough it is the cherished overdate for this series. The reverse die marker is there, but a little difficult to see. I have a couple of these in my collection and I am always happy to find one and add it to my album. Report this Post to the Staff
