    Hello CT'ers! So, today I was going through a stack of wheat pennies I purchased a few days ago, and as some of my more recent posts mentioned, I've had quite a good week. Now, I am honestly beside myself...I just need to confirm that this is what it is, and what y'all who have better grading skills think.

    It appears to be the high leaves variety of the 1858 Flying Cent. Is this correct, what grade would this be worthy of, and (I imagine) I should probably send it out? Man I am excited!!! What a week indeed!! :woot::happy:

    If you send it in I would only send to ANACS.

    and

    2) you'd get a details grade, the rev appears to be damaged on the ONE CENT

    Is there a price difference premuium for High Leaves compared to Low Leaves? As there isn't for Large Letters VS Small Letters!

    Low leaves and just a nice circulated FE - and like @Collecting Nut stated - Not anywhere close to spending the money to get it slabbed!

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    That is definitely the low leaves reverse.

    However, even if it were the high leaves, why do you think it would be valuable? Is there something I'm missing?

    I guess it depends on what your definition of valuable is. For me, anything that is old and historic, is valuable. Money is just the tool to get what's valuable. That's just me
