For sale, one " Flying Eagle cent type coin". Outstanding, except the "type" is counterfeit.

Expertise in Counterfeit Detection.

The date itself is highly suspicious and prone to counterfeiting, since it is the rarest in the Flying Eagle - Indian cent series.

Specifically, there is a known Chinese counterfeiter's flaw in the die on the reverse, and the flaws in the digits in most Chinese fakes are very apparent once you become familiar.

Take a look at the photos for the areas of quick identification on this coin.
