I have only dabbled in things other than Lincoln's but love a nice FS variety in any series.
I sent a submission to ANACS back in early Jan and it's back already. (It was a mostly good submission.)

Most were Lincolns but I came across this one which I think came from a lot I won of mixed Lincoln's, IHC, and a few FE cents in 2022 or 2023. Nothing was attributed in the lot I won.

I was pleased to see the doubling appear under my loupe and was able to determine the attribution before sending it off.

For those not familiar with this one, there is nice doubling on the eagles eye & the right side of the obv. @ ICA, top side of the tail feathers, the eagles claw.
The Eagles wing tip is "broken" and is used as a nice marker to differentiate this one from the Snow 3 variety.

As always, thanks for checking it out and hope you enjoy this one.

Very cool, Cliff! Nice doubling but am not at all familiar with these coins, the doubling is very apparent though. It looks decent, considering its age, what did it grade?

I have picked a few EF DDOs over the years. I really like them too. Good find and thanks for sharing!

I just happened to have an 1857 cent laying on my desk when I opened this thread......made me look.....no luck

Neat find. I've been aggressively trying to compete my Indian set recently. My FEs could probably use a couple of upgrades.

Thanks guys.
It's nice to have an eclectic collection and a poor memory because I'm never sure when a surprise will show up.

Jon, it graded F15.


Sorry about the luck Roger.

Upgrades are nice. I picked up an 1857 FE last year at a pawn shop last year that will go low AU. He had two and each were marked $35.00. I calmly asked to see the AU one while trying not to sound too excited. Probably a $150.00 coin!!

I wish I had remembered you were looking for IHC. I won a full set in a mixed lot of wheats that had some IHC thrown in to appeal to more bidders. The set had been in a Mehrig album from the mid 60's. Most were details coins but yep, 1877, 1864 "L", 1909 S. The only one missing was the 1886 Type 2. The set had been put together before collectors differentiated between the two types.
