I got some new lighting, so I am excited that I was able to take some sharper images than I have in the past, though I still have a lot to learn. Gorgeous coins and photos! Edited by Classic Coins

I don't have a 7070 but I have some of the type coins! No worries, the actual album is not required to build a " 7070 United States Type" Collection. (If it is a requirement, I will bow out now...slabs don't fit in the conventional 7070 Ablum.) Edited by oih82w8

This is the better (slightly) of my two Flying Eagle cents, both of which were junk bin finds in the UK - I think this one cost me 5p several years ago! The last '8' looks slightly mis-shapen, which makes me wonder if it's an 8/7 or a doubled die. This is the clearest pic I could get, but boosting the contrast and brightness makes the coin look polished - which it isn't!   Edited by NumisRob

On the flying eagle reverse I am just now noticing there appear to be two distinct types. If you look at the two pointed leaves on either side of the berries at the top of the coin (where the wreath comes together), on some the leaves are straight, while on others the leaves curve away from the berries. Take palioguy's photo as an example of the straight variety.
