hmm 4 or 12?, enough detail to go with 12, so F12 it is.

4 Its a tough one since some of the detail is as good as a 20.

...tough one. It's unattributed in the holder but I believe it's an S-62 (Trephined Head) before the obverse cud (which would make it an R4 piece)...

@lkenefic: nice coin!
This one may be a bit tricky, but I’ll give a hint. I’m looking for a bit more than the numerical grade - it’s a particular feature of this coin. Remember, too, FE’s do not have color designations.

In fairness to @Coinbert & @lkenefic, while the coin is part of the LL group, the label doesn’t read that way. You both get another guess (hint: see @jfriedm56 answer).
But Zack, your answer isn’t complete. I think you might know what I mean.
This is a tough one, so I’m giving out hints.
Finally, no second chances for future LL guesses.“The thrill of the hunt never gets old”

@jfriedm56: no Zack, that’s not it. I’m looking for something that’s particular to this variety.

@Copperindian, my final thoughts on the variety would be broken wing tip also. If that’s not it, I’m out Ken. Edited to add- Strong overdate.
1 -
OK, this was a tough one. @jfriedm56 - you were actually on it Zack; see below:

Your mention of a broken wing tip was spot on as all these have that characteristic. The tail feathers also come in varying degrees of strike, but virtually none are full. That also makes the leaves on the upper right reverse to lack detail.
In the answer I was looking for “”Strong” as it’s important as to the coin’s value. These come in varying degrees of strike. PCGS made the decision (correctly) to add “strong” to the EDS examples some 6-7 years ago. There are very few of them & they’re much more valuable - double or more of the later die states. This coin is one of the EDS with “strong”; PCGS was very tough on this one with the 63 grade.
I’m out of the loop today, so I’ll defer to @jfriedman56 for next up. Btw, Zack, imo this coin is a 64, so when you added “strong” to your guess this AM, it was as close to correct as possible without actually guessing the 63 on the label.
Finally, the LL guesses were partially correct as this variety is under the LL category. All 1858 FE’s are generally either LL or SL.“The thrill of the hunt never gets old”

@Copperindian, thanks Ken. Didn’t quite understand what you were going for early on. I guess I need to enlarge and study the entries more closely. Let’s try this one.

For those that don’t collect coppers, remember, the copper and bronze coins from 1793 to the present will have a color designation. @pcgsregistrycollector.
