an older holder coin and so it does not say small letters on the holder and they have it misattributed as a large letters!!! the pops are totally different for the small letters which this coin is !! significantly so and the coin is a no brainer small letters also from the reverse as the coin was modified with the eagle being slightly recessed so the small letters has a better strike on the leaves on the reverse even from the reverse it is to me just an average coillector a small letters 1858!!.....................me thinks??

a rare gem small letters coin ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and i would not like to be the consignor of this coin

i am surprised such a thing could happen with professional catalogers doing this on a multi thousand 4500+ dollar coin

    Not long ago at the Baltimore sale a "P66Cam SL" cent sold for about $42K - it was a LL. Both NGC and the catalog writer missed it.

    Don't forget, they haven't always seperated the LL and SL pops - the large number of LL's is in part a hold over from those days. It remains to be seen what the true pops difference is.
