Was looking through some new purchases my local B&M dealer bought at the ATL show and brought these home yesterday along with a nice VF 1861 Seated Quarter and 17-S Rev. Walking Liberty Half.
Cool die break on the Rev of this 58-D Quarter.....
Some kind of MPD on this 58-O Seated Half......

Where's the rest of that seated coin ?
Didn't want to show the rest 'cuz I knew I would get flamed for the rim issue.....but here she is.

I like that , too. And dings are part of commerce.

The reverse is probably rotated less than 5 degrees clockwise. What do you think it is clashed with?

I don't believe that the 1858-O is a misplaced digit because if you look at the top of the "8" that is supposedly in the rim, it is nearly the same height as the rest of dentils. I think that the center of the "8" is actually a gouge in the coin, as that area would have been removed with the making of the rim. When that gouge was received is when the metal was forced upwards to make the rim section seem a little higher than the other internodes of the dentils. Also, this supposed "8" seems a little smaller than the 8's that were used for the half dollars. Misplaced digits are relatively common below the dates of half dollars though. The die engravers would use digits close to the rim to determine the hardness of the die before they began to make them; sometimes the digits wouldn't get covered up by the dentils upon completion of the die. Sorry for the bad news of my opinion, but it's still a beautiful coin.
