Art Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Very nice cent. Looks like the die was filled in the area of "OF" Could have been grease or some hot metal runoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm not absolutely sure but the reverse seems to have a clash line going from the one going up toward the center. Also I wonder where it fits in here. I don't know if this would be the same one prior to being reworked but check out the S-22 Since you have it in hand it would probably be better for you to compare to any that fit. Pictures may be able to get a general idea but having in hand and being able to roll the coin back and forth in light really is the only sure way.

Mr B Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi Mark , i think you nailed it dude , the S22.Im unsure what you mean about the reverse but ill have another look under better light.Im convinced it is the S22 prior to be reworked though. Ill tell you a funny story while im here.I knew there were very few years these were made (1856-1858) and as it happened on the night i bought mine there were two for sell. Both different years , i remember thinking id pull the trigger on both barrels and bag both birds as they ended at the same time.Mine was better condition though and i settled for the one. So last night im browsing and see an 1856 for $10k i couldnt for the life of me remember which year the flying eagle was that id let go other than it was not 1857,checked the red book OMG i should have known better but my heart sank..noooooooooooooooooooo ...how could i be so stupid ??? As i say....should have known better , it was an 1858 ...whew.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
