Please help with identifing 1857 flying eagle Snow 16?

Picked this one up on ebay from some nice person from in the United Kingdom .
I think this maybe a rare Snow 16 variety coin but not sure.
Also I would like to send it in to a grading service. who do you think would
be the best for this kind of coin. PCGS is my first pick but dont want it back in a bodybag.
Also what grade would you give it. I am thinking extra fine maybe au.
Thank you for eny help you could give me. Mike.

    yep, that's it!

    Looks like it has AU details to me. Some crud by date and on reverse might keep it from NGC/PCGS.
  • What about ANACS?

    Hey, those are getting popular..congrats!!

    Anacs would grade it no problem. If the is anything wrong with the coin it would get a "net" grade but still be slabbed.

    Nice one

    I don't like ANACS and their net grading.

    Get some other opinions on here and if the consensus is that it won't ngc/pcgs I'd personally use NCS.


    I just sold a nice PCGS VF30 one of these the other nite.
    I have another in NGC45 on it's way back to me too and a nice PCGS AU58 one for keepers.


    of all the varieties of '57 these, by far, sure seem to be anything but truly Rare. I have seen lots of them on ebay over the past several months.
