Could this worn flying eagle be a 1858/7?
I hope the pictures are good enough for some opinions.

    oih82w8: thank you for your reply. Yes, I did look at pcgs.com for a comparison. My coin is very worn and it does appear something is going on above the 8 and the wing is hard to tell that’s why I posted for others with more experience to comment.

    With the photos provided i don’t see it…
    The mark you are looking at is too close to the 8 i believe…

    Those photos make it look like a cast counterfeit. I assume it is not, but better photos even with an iPhone would help.

    If you cannot see anything how can one identify anything

    Based on the pictures, it does not appear to be the overdate. Cheers, RickO
