Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 7:03 pm I received today an 1857 Flying Eagle that I purchased for $ 35. The ebay photos were not conclusive, but the coin had some attributes of a Snow 10. I have been searching for this variety for several years. They are rare according to Rick Snow (see attached article). the coin looks to be VF. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 7:40 pm Thanks.....I guess it could be classified as a cherrypick. The seller mainly sold gun items with only 4 coins posted, so I don't think they had any coin knowledge. No mention of variety was made. Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 07/29/2025 7:11 pm Very slight doubling of the eye. It doesn't show well in the photos, but can be seen with a loupe. Report this Post to the Staff
