Nice looking coin.

I am at VF 20
Large letters
The small hit on the rim does not bother me.

:) Thanks for the replies... looks like I didn't get stitched up then, it was not an exceptional deal but was a fair one and I am OK with that.

VF-20, possibly cleaned. In the U.S. probably worth about $25 or thereabouts, so I think you did fine.

:) Thanks all :)

Nice to see you perusing the coins Mr Frog... normally see you hanging about the paper money (I am mainly lurking there as no new additions recently.)

Much nicer than my first Flying Eagle cent that's for sure.

That is a fine type coin. Even better than fine, probably VF20.

Nice pickup.

Everyone should have at least one Flying Eagle cent.

That is a really nice coin and considering your not here in the USA, finding one at all is great. Now lets see you find a 1856 for that price.

Nice pickup! VF20 with a light cleaning in the past but retoned nicely.

I like it.

I figure it saw several years of circulation (back then a cent was important in commerce) and then maybe left on the last ship leaving those crazy ex-colonists at the start of the war.
