NotoriousABE New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 2:14 pm I have found a 1858 Flying Eagle cent! I was wondering if you can help me out by figuring out if these are from PMD or its a Cud! I tried to take a picture to show that even though the rim is indented a little bit, that it doesn't answer for how big the possible Cud is! So what do you think? I appreciate the feedback! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 4:27 pm Afraid so. Always nice to know what to look for and where to find/no see it on a coin. This coin was probably the looser of a coin toss. When coins are dropped, the coins can suffer the most. Report this Post to the Staff
