The “pincher 8s” variety, featuring a gap in the top loops of the 8s. Traces of friction on the cheek, breast and feathers, as expected for a “58.” Luster is unbroken in the fields. A uniform layer of “grey dirt” has protected the surfaces for countless decades. Tim uncovered the coin at the August 2015 ANA Convention.
