I'll guess VF35

nccoin · March 24, 2004 2:06PM

Close to xf, but not quite. VF30-35

Placid · March 24, 2004 8:40PM

Vf25. The reverse picture seems like the rim might have some damage at about 10 o'clock.

Very nice surfaces.

mrpaseo · March 24, 2004 11:22PM

Let's see, I'm thinking...
VF-24 1/2

mrpaseo · March 24, 2004 11:23PM

Just wanted to add, the FE is a Beautiful coin.

Beautiful...

Some good guess's but so far no one has made any comment towards variety ?

SS
I can only make a variety comment if I had the book(which will be bought shortly). So there might not be to many poeple who can comment on it. I'll guess it has something to do with the chip in the upper wing. If it was a Morgan, well besides myself, many members collect them and could take a guess.
I'm keeping an eye on this post and will wait for the answer myself.
Nice coin

I going with the rest of the forum VF

Numismanic · March 25, 2004 1:15AM

Is it a 1857/7, if its is that would be a nice find. I can't tell for sure from the picture.

BigGreek · March 25, 2004 1:28AM

VF-35

BigGreek · March 25, 2004 1:31AM

Might I add. What saved the coin from VF-25 is the strike.
You often see Flying Eagles with great feather detail but
poor head detail. You could have great tail and wings
(which would technically make it EF) but have a lousy head.
This one has a nice head but just too much wear for EF.

ss350camaro · March 25, 2004 2:46AM

Thought i'd refresh this post to see if anyone else wanted to take a look and give their opinion ?

Hint: this is a variety, it is slabbed in an ANACS holder

mrpaseo · March 25, 2004 6:54AM

I'm going to have to guess with repunched date.

goose3 · March 25, 2004 6:58AM

Solid VF30.

ANacs probably says EF but it isn't.

I can't quite tell if it's a "Type of '56" and certainly cannot tell if it's a DDO.

I can tell it is not an S7 or S9 but it might be an S8.....just can't make out enough on the reverse.

kamehameha00 · March 25, 2004 7:28AM

VF30,and a nice one!

mrpaseo · March 25, 2004 8:19AM

goose3,

I couldn't see any Die Clash marks at all, even with a blow up of the pics. I figured maybe the repunch date (S11) only because I have never seen a picture of this one and it's the only other variety that I know of.

mrpaseo · March 25, 2004 8:20AM

A clue, a clue

mrpaseo · March 25, 2004 8:23AM

Thee seems to be doubling in the tail...Is this what I am supposed to be looking at?

ldhair · March 25, 2004 8:59AM

Maybe an S-12?
