What exactly is wrong with this flying eagle cent?

Well Eddie
You seem to be a betting man or horse ?

Send in to Anacs if it don't come back As attributed I'll pony up the fee's

If it does come back as a Snow# 7 or # 8 you will pay for all the fee's .

10 day turn around. Put up or shut up.

I’ll shut up. I don’t have as much money to waste on gambling as you evidently do.

 

Thank you all for your input, at the end of the day whether there is or there isn't any clash I am still pretty happy with getting a flying eagle cent into my collection and the quickness with the strike makes it more interesting to me.

I have personally developed a liking to the little imperfections in a lot of the coins from the era. Sure, a perfect example is welcomed too into my collection when possible, but I really like coins with die cracks, uneven strikes, little examples of delamination, off centered, substantial die rotation, etc. Gives me a lot more to look at and talk about than I would have otherwise.

As for sending it to ANACS, if you have any submission that I could pony off of, I might do it for the fun of it even if it doesn't come back attributed. It was a cheap enough coin that I don't mind.

 

It is very faint but under 3x magnification and light it looks like what you drew there more or less. I think you nailed it.

It's just subtle enough to see it with the eye at 3x, but I doubt a camera will really capture it as well, so I won't even bother with that

But yeah, I wonder if ANACS will certify it.

Not sure, but I'll think about it. I'm honestly ok with leaving it as is too. I'm not really trying to make a profit out of this.

Just wanted to let you know though that you do have incredible eyes to have discerned that from the photos, and that now that I know what I'm supposed to see I can see it in the hand at 3x. Faint but it's there.

 

It sort of looks like the clash which makes it a great piece.

 

They don't certify pareidolia.

 

Take your images and run then through differ color filters darken and lighten the images the clashes will show.. it not only the clash yes it is there struck thru...grease making it faint. But again other pick up points nailed it.
As well running the color filters to see the coin surface better.
Glad it worked out for you... again glad I could repay you for your kindness past.
Another dead give away is the pair of eyes ...not a pair actually . Make the bird look cartoonist.

 

You’re inferring the clashing from your so-called “pick up points,” in particular, the “double eye.” You’re not seeing the clashing, but imagining it’s there. The grease enables you to imagine it. This will never certify as the variety, there’s no way. Neither will it sell as such, the same reason.

 

NO
I am saying exactly what I said from my first post it is the snow 7 and has been confirmed by the op that the clash as well all of the pups for the variety are present on the coin.
Sorry if your abilities inhibits you from seeing or understanding this variety,and able to accept the fact that you are 100% "Wrong"

 

I know this variety really well but I'm not seeing it in the images. It sounds like the OP can see it in hand. That's cool.
This is one I sold last year. I saved a few of the S-7, 8 and 9 as well as the Quarter that matches the S-8. These have a really fun history.

 

The OP's coin looks to have the doubled eye like the S-3 but I'm not seeing the broken wing.

 

I’m getting what you’re saying, Paddy, but I’m suggesting these “pick up points” might not be as definitive as you and evidently some others may think. Again, just open your eyes. Here’s Larry’s, for a side-by-side comparison. Where do you see any evidence of these clash marks? About the only thing you haven’t as yet suggested is infrared spectrometry. Is that where we are on this one? I suppose so. This is like a “black hole,” now. We going to be talking multiple universes, soon?

 

I looked up quite a few of these that have been attributed. The clash is easily seen all the way down to a AG3. Snow 8 is clashed with a Liberty seated quarter.

 

Actually the S-8 is clashed with the Quarter. The S-9 is clashed with the Half Dollar.

 

Wait. I thought the OP has the coin in hand but he is only looking at images. From the images so far, I don't believe the coin is the S-7.
