dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 7:27 pm Wow that's a lot of 56's in one place! macmercury, I think the third zero to the right of the comma (decimal point in this case) is a typo. Sounds about right at $25.00. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 10:41 pm To me, the coin is fake. It looks wrong in so many ways, the lettering, the style of the eagle, finish. It just doesn't look like a real Flying Eagle cent. Report this Post to the Staff
slowaltima Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 11/20/2012 2:28 pm I have 5 FEC's and this looks nothing like any of them. They are all much lower grades, G-XF40 or so, but the date doesn't look right compared to the rest. The lettering looks off as well. The beak is also completely different than the other 5.

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 11/20/2012 5:04 pm I haven't handled a great many FE's, but at first glance that coin screamed "FAKE". Bryan's close up confirmed it even more for me. Report this Post to the Staff
