Lot Description

1858 Flying Eagle Cent. Large Letters. Snow-7, FS-302. Overdate, Doubled Die Obverse. MS-63 (NGC). CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. FS-302 is formerly Snow-7. This is the lesser-known of two overdate varieties for the year, though described as "more rare" by Snow in his Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents. Rather than the die dot above the first 8 and 5 of the date, this variant shows raised areas above and to the left of the upper part of the 1. This example shows die doubling on the first few letters of UNITED and an abundant amount of peach-gray patina lending a fully original appearance. PCGS# 2019.
