1858/7 1C Weak Overdate FS-302, S-7 MS65 认证号83600634, PCGS号37384

This is a lovely Gem, PCGS MS65, CAC Certified, 1858/7 Strong S-7 cent, with a bold to sharp strike and satiny golden-orange luster. Snow-7 was discovered by Mark McWherter and announced in a front-page article in Numismatic News on September 12, 1995. According to Rick Snow in the third edition of The Flying Eagle & Indian Cent Attribution Guide, Volume 1: 1856-1877, only 25 or so examples have been confirmed since that time. The finest specimen known to the author is an MS-65, presumably the only other example attributed and graded as such by PCGS. This coin is a newcomer to the Condition Census for this variety. Snow-7 is often confused with the more famous 1858/7 Flying Eagle cent variety attributed as Snow-1. Unlike that variety, however, Snow-7 is unknown in different die states; all known examples display faint remnants of the upper right corner of a digit 7 to the right of the final digit 8 in the date. A loupe also reveals remnants of the flag of a 1 to the left of the primary digit. This variety is also a Doubled Die Obverse with doubling to the letters UNITE in UNITED along the left border. PCGS Population (Snow-7 attribution only): 2; 0 finer.
