1856-Flying-Eagle-Cent---Grade-&-Authenticity-Ck

I noticed this slight digression from the original topic evolving into an extremely interesting and informative subtopic.

Every last comment has been noted and appreciated.

I am learning a lot.
Rest in Peace

Fur egg-sample? In most cases, first years sell for less than later ones.
As a "for example"? How about the 1916 SLQ?

Considering there are 728 times as many 1917 SLQ as 1916, I would expect the 1916 to sell for more.

This still doesn't compare the 56FE to the 55FE and 54FE, which is the correct comparison, pattern to pattern

It seems to me that it's a lot harder to find a 37P 3 leg than a 37D 3 leg, but the commoner error is worth more. Why? The 37D is in the books, folders, albums, etc.
Rest in Peace

The 83 no cents nickel is three times as scarce as the 83 wc. It sells for less because non-collectors saved them up as a "new" nickel.

Can you find me a 1855 or 1854 flying eagle pattern that looks anything remotely like the flying eagle business strike series? All the ones I am seeing use a completely different obverse eagle style, completely different reverse, and a completely different size.

I think DVcollector's point was that they actually used the same exact style on the 1856 "pattern" for the flying eagle series....which makes it fit right into the series. This is a HUGE distinction whichever way you slice it. The other patterns cannot be compared to the series, and would not make a matching flying eagle set paired with the 1857 and 1858.
