1858 SL Flying Eagle Variety?

VicPortland

I like Flying Eagle cents so I buy them when I can. Here is a photo of one I purchased recently. I notice two 'mounds' to the left of the upper wing and another on the right of the upper wing. Then there is a raised area connecting the second 'S' in STATES and the 'O' in OF and another raised area connecting the 'T' and the 'E" in STATES. Is this the result of a die clash or die wear or what? I like this coin with or without the anomolies, but I am curious as to what caused them. Does anyone know or have an opinion about them?

None of those seem to match what you are asking about so its probably caused by a die clash.

Vic - you're right about them being die clashes. Most of what your see is from the ribbon, I also see a small clash left by the wreath under the eagle's talon.

Shylock:

That superimposed image is too cool! Thanks! Now whenever I view this flyer, I can remember I am looking at the Obverse and the Reverse at the same time!
