1858/7 Flying Eagale

gene1978

I have a 1858 Flying Eagle pennies. Before I sell I am trying to find out if any are this. Is there a easy way to tell? I try to ask a few coin dealers including online and all I get is I charge x to for looking at a coin. Comparing pictures I am thinking that they are not 8/7 but not a 100% forsure. Any help would be great.

I'm sure you'll find an answer here, but....

I do authentication and attribution for $4 plus return postage. Of course, if you post a clear picture you can find out without shipping it.

I posted here to try to gain information so I can decide for myself since I am new collector, then maybe post picture later with what I am thinking. With most of my post there always seems to be a smartbutt which makes me not want to come back here. I am gald that the older collectors are so helpful with the new collectors.

WTF? With that thin skin, your time here will be very short lived.

I don't think they're trying to make fun because seriously it's much easier to answer questions like yours if we can see photos. Look for the broken wing tip, dot above the date and corner of the 7 just to the right top of the second 8 (see Rick's link).

Did you purchase the coin as an 1858/7 or not? Did you buy from a knowledgeable source?

hmmmmm,

You don't see how photos could help you gain the free information you're requesting?

Google is our friend: 1858/7 Flying Eagle

Some may construe your question as lazy; no photo, no apparent research on your part before posting on this forum, etc.

The post from the older collectors appear to be helpful... yours is the only one that appeared to be a "smartbutt" response?
