1857 Flying Eagle (.98) Graffiti

I could use some education about this flying eagle. Where exactly is the graffiti?

Heritage 1857 FLying Eagle
I actively collect, buy and sell US minted Philippine coins from 1903-1945. I am interested in anything during this period, Albums, Proof sets, collections, original rolls and bags, Cullion Leper colony coins etc.
Also a big fan of liberty seated coins.

    If you look at the close up photos you see lots of white lines these are on the slab, if you notice those there are a few dark lines these are on the coin.
    One above the eagles head lines up with the eye and even cuts into part of it, one below the eagles head, and one near the rear of eagle. Being because they are so large that is probably why it details graded

    Don't worry about it, took me more than a few seconds to pick out the graffiti, I would guess that it's more noticeable in hand.

    BTW, welcome to the forums.

    Thanks,

    I have been lurking for a while, mostly because I forgot my password and was too lazy to recover it....
