My 1881 O FLAKY EYE
My 1881 O FLAKY EYE
I have a nice ungraded 1881 O, vam 1D 'flaky eye',
that I found online, awhile back.
It is no where near, as nice as Dennis's great
PCGSMS64PL find, but I was pretty excited, when I
saw the wavy lines, in the eye and clicked the BIN.
I had also noticed the neck and the spike, on the
inside,of the top loop, of the first 8, about 11 o'clock.
I was so proud of it, I put it in a Coin World holder.
Enjoy, Bert

Great pick! Looks uncirculated MS62ish.
I may not be the best, but I do not know anyone better.
Re: My 1881 O FLAKY EYE
I agree and maybe even an MS63. Nice catch

Re: My 1881 O FLAKY EYE
Thats the ugliest most beautiful eye I ever saw
I hate this fracking coin...for now
Re: My 1881 O FLAKY EYE
I don't think I have ever heard an explanation for the neck item. I always thought it looked like a feather. But it is on all of them to a greater or lesser degree, so on the die.

Still think this should have been named 'stink eye'
