just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/09/2011 10:15 pm Difficult to actually tell due to the photos are not the best. And too taken in the 2x2's also makes details rather difficult. Regardless of that I'd say all are about G-4 approxiamtely and the total value would be also, approximately $125 to $150. That is what I suspect would be the asking price at a coin show. Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 08:51 am have you checked for the 1857/8? Those are worth a bit more and can be identified by having a lonesome wingtip not attached to the wing. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 12:28 pm Make sure to differentiate between the 1858 small letter variety and the 1858 large letter variety. There's isn't a whole lot of difference in value, but a collector may want one or the other more. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 02/11/2011 1:54 pm I just picked up a decent 1858 SL G4 or so at my dealer for $14 yesterday, he sells his for about $20 but this one had a stain on the eagles head; which was removed nicely with veri-gone (most of it anyway) Report this Post to the Staff

The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 02/14/2011 08:28 am I just bought an 1858 Small Letters at Good-VG, haven't got it yet. Paid $15 for it. Individual pics would be good. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 4:12 pm The 1858/7 is a variety worth looking for; that's 1858 over 1857, wherein the upper right corner of the 7 can be seen, peeking out from the top of the last 8. Personally, I've looked at many hundreds of 1858's over the years and never found that overdate. Another variety worth seeking is the die-clash with another coin; either a liberty seated half or $20 gold piece! Never found that one, either. As a few of these cents have serious environmental damage, I'd estimate a wholesale value of this lot to be $80-90. Report this Post to the Staff
