1858 Flying Eagle - Small Letters or Large Letters?

Yours is a Small Letters, the quickest and easiest pick up point is the AM separation. If it's separated like yours, its a Small Letters, if they're touching, its a Large Letters. Of course, this isn't the only difference but for quick identification, it's the best.

That's a great tip Jesse! I'll make note of that for the future!

 

Thanks! When the coin is well worn, it becomes more difficult to be certain of the separation.

 

Let's see the reverse. There are two reverses, high and low leaf.

 

Sorry. Don't own/have the coin.

 

Oh. Then I can't help.

But anyway that actually means there are four die pair combinations on these 1858s. Just something to note...

 

as long as you got it keep it read up on it.. cause you like it..

 

How about this one...

 

That one looks like the blurry letter variety.

 

Sorry, I don't have a good closeup pic.
