What's this FE grade?

I bought it because it was a s-3.

I'm thinking vf35

Nice, I'd say Vf-30

 

I also say VF30 because the wing looks too flat for a 35.

 

VF, but thats good for an FE. nice coin

 

I'd say the tpg grade would be 35 . By ANA Grading Standards would be 30 .Nice example of the type .

 

Put me in the 30 camp.

 

25

 

Ow! Ow! Ow!
THAT'S the Snow variety (S-3) I'm looking for.
It's the only one of the 9 varieties that is considered a business strike and not a proof.
So it will NOT be graded PF-xx.

 

I'm not sure it is an S-3.

 

Broken wing tip, E on One on reverse are basically touching

Why do you think it's not?

 

I'm thinking the S-3 is a DDO. Usually easy to spot in images.

 

S-3 Note doubling on eye and CA in AMERICA

 

So there's more than one die with a broken wing?

 

The hub caused the broken wing. Not sure how many dies were made from it.

 

It looks like 2 dies. Broken wing and repaired wing. Guess I'll have to see it in hand.

 

They were still using the same hub in 1858. It was used on the famous 1858/7.
I was trying to find the Snow# for your coin BigTee but I can't find it.

 

Looks nice, congrats. I'm also in the VF-30 camp.

 

Still confused.

It's got the broken wing.


Anyone know what snow it is?

 

Snow? No snow for me, thanks. Here in the south, we don't abide by such frigid foolishness!

Sorry, I don't have a copy of the Snow book.
