1857 Flying Eagle - seeking advice whether it might be one of the varities
![ad4400](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/buffalo1.jpg)
This is a NewP, hoping it will be a nice addition to my 7070 registry. I belatedly noticed what appears to be some doubling on the date, and also potentially in some of the lettering. With some initial research, I discovered there a multitude of PCGS recognized varieties, and quickly figured I am out of my element. Here are a couple of seller images of the whole coin as well as close-ups of the date and "America". Interested in opinions from those more versed than me whether it is a variety and if so which one.
Thanks in advance!

That's a beautiful coin! I think it's just shelf doubling though.
I will second that.
Thanks for the inputs on the (non) variety of the coin. I picked it up from the PO and am very happy and think it is nicer in hand relative to seller images. A bit brighter, and good bit more contrast in color, with the obverse displaying a brighter to darker goldish to sunset orange from rim to center. The reverse a very rich orange color outside the wreath to a brighter look inside the wreath. I had originally been looking at an MS grade for this slot, but this 58 is easily going to check all my boxes. Here is the Truview:![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/8j/3ns6g1lyqm6y.jpeg)

Sometimes those AU58 are better than this low grade MS for some reason. Nice FE! Congrats!
