I have this Flyer and when I was imaging it noticed it has some attributes of a 7 under the 8. What is the groups thoughts on this one. It looks to have the die chip in the field above the date under the eagle. The wing tip is well worn is it broken. Any thoughts. I want to think its a 58/7 the question though is it?
There's an old thread on this: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/18...ng-overdate-weak-or-just-a-plain-1858.332818/ Ask the experts: @Fred Weinberg; @TypeCoin971793: @ToughCOINS; @paddyman98, et al
I don't think so. Tip of the wing looks intact. Here is some information https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/272/small-cents/flying-eagle-cent/1858-P/8-over-7/
