I'm not seeing the markers for a Snow-8. Even with the gunk on the reverse you should be able to see the outline of the clash. Here's a couple angles of my example to compare:





Keep searching! FECs are a fascinating area to collect.

Not the overdate and I'm not seeing any RPD or variety with this one. The broken wing tip and weakness on AMERICA shows up on at least one other die aside from than the overdate. Not a bad looking coin!

That's a nice DDO-001 FS-101!

I've owned a few of these. Date doubling is unique on this variety and the doubling on IGWT is pretty nice.

A key marker I always look for on this variety is on the B of LIBERTY. There is a pretty bold "blob" to the left of the top loop of the B that is present on every example I've had.

Nice pick!

This is not authentic unfortunately. Font is off and the surface is certainly unnatural when compared to similar dimes. Best of luck with the rest of the collection!

Not FS-801 unfortunately. Doubling your seeing is mechanical. True doubling is not present.

Exactly what I was thinking. I looked through hundreds of examples of the overdate today, and couldn't find any with the die crack. Unfortunately, I don't believe you have an 8/7 here.

My biggest concern is the die crack through the date. That would be a pretty big marker not to be known by now, even in LDS. So if that is indeed an unlisted major die marker, we'd need to find some other examples with the same crack on the overdate to confirm. I'll see if I can find any but just on a quick search, I haven't seen any others.

Cool, thanks. Was just interested since that was the original marker I pointed out on this forum! The photo you used was mine too! Glad to see others are using the knowledge. Will be cool if Snow ever gets around to fully recognizing it as a die marker for this variety. Again, awesome find!

That's a huge coin. To cherry-pick my example I had to spend $350+ and it's a G details, beat and environmentally damaged but still brought hundreds at auction.raw. Less than 120 of these I've counted to exist, and trust me there's very few to cherry-pick anymore. I've tried! Huge congratulations!

Also to clarify, I mean send side by sides of the variety, not a physical extra. I hope that helps.

It's a no doubter FS-101. I had this happen to an 1858/7 FEC I own. They reholdered it properly but I had to send side by side proof with an example they had already certified and identified as the variety next to my coin.

Very nice. Still a variety I need for my FEC. I'd say easy VF-35, great shot at EF-40. The high leaves variety is a tough one to find but not extremely difficult. It is not a very desirable variety unless you're a snow or FEC collector. I've seen a few in lower grades but I'm waiting to pick a VF-EF example since I don't think I'll have any competition cherry-picking one. So while it is a high grade and very clean example, you'll only find a big market for this variety with people like me and other niche collectors. This is a gorgeous example!

Looks good to me for being genuine, and IMO worth more than $400. Being from a mint bag seems plausible and super cool. Love it!

Hey there!

I've done loads of cherry-picking and roll hunting over my years. I'll list some of my favorites/rarest finds below!

1858/7 S-1 FEC (VF-XF.to be graded), a cherry-pick:





1857 Obverse Clash with $20 FS-403 (~100 of these are known to exist), an expensive cherry-pick:





The first 1858/7 S-1 FEC I ever cherry-picked, which is now PCGS graded VG-10. A sentimental and pretty cool piece:





1857 S-8 Reverse Clash with 25C, a cherry-pick:






1917 DDO-001 FS-101, a roll find (the second one I've found in a roll! They're out there!):






I have a whole lot more roll finds and Lincoln cent varieties I've picked/found over the years but these are just a few of my favorite bigger finds. I'm a big FEC collector and have been sinking my cherry-picking efforts into that series more the last year or two, so Lincoln cent pickups have nearly completely stopped but I have accumulated a nice collection of rare varieties in the series.
