TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 2:28 pm I have $5 in this coin. How did I do? PLEASE note that the reverse had a MAD, causing weakness in the bottom of the reverse (the high side of the die) and the respective spot on the obverse. There is no damage or cleaning. Verdi-care might be a good investment in this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

CrusaderVW Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 4:56 pm I think you did great. The Eagles look great on the coins. My FE has a far worse Eagle on it and I payed 29 dollars for it. Report this Post to the Staff

Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 8:18 pm Nice Flying Eagle cent, and can't beat having only five dollars in it. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 10:18 pm I don't know how to grade FE's, so I'll say AU-50. Obverse weakness around 2 o clock? Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 11:29 pm Thank you for all of the kind comments. I figured this would be a high VF or low EF. If it indeed is an AU, then that is a pleasant surprise. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 11:37 pm I see it as exhibiting at least XF-45 detail, probably lower-end AU. Nice coin but I'm not convinced about the originality of the surfaces from these photos, of course you can probably get a better idea of the originality in hand.
