Yes, it is real. That's a very nice coin! Handle it with care - do not try acetone or Verdi-care before you've practiced on dozens of other coins first. An error on your part could cut the value by half.

AU-58, just slight wear on it in the places superdave mentioned.
Value around $300 to $350

Thanks as always for the replies guys. I really do appreciate it. I like to read these forums and often don't have much to contribute since I'm not much of an expert, more of a casual collector. I try to handle all my coins very carefully and I don't clean them in any way.
I actually sold that dime at an auction here a few months ago and received a very good price for it (2.3k once all the fees were taken out) SsuperDdave.
Thank you all again for the help!!

I couldn't be more pleased to hear that; it means the coin was even nicer than we thought.  |

Off topic slightly:
When I heard Dave mention the dime my curiosity was peaked so I did a search. Wow o wow that dime was gorgeous.
Did you get it certified? What did it grade at?
This cent is nicer than any Flying Eagle I own.

Did you get it certified? What did it grade at? I had it pegged at 63 (like everyone else), which would be in line with the price realized if it were in a PCGS slab. |

I don't see any wear on your FEC. Nice looking coin with original luster..I see no evidence of impaired surfaces.
The reverse carbon spotting I would not mess with. Trying to conserve this coin might make the matter worse.
I like it at MS63

THIS is a SUPERB Flying Eagle. Don't clean it though. MS63/64!

Tricky to put a value on these high end coins, so much depends on what grade it is assigned.
Great photo by the way and I'd say the coin brings $700-800 anyway. More wouldn't surprise me at all.
The reverse detail is superb and although there are some hits to the rim I believe the coin to be MS

@MeadowviewCollector I did not personally get it certified. The auction place did it on their own at PCGS and I'd be lying to you if I knew the grade. The auctioneer was very confident that it was a real coin and a few months passed before that auction actually happened. It caught me off guard receiving the check because I wasn't keeping track of it and honestly I almost forgot about the auction. I sold a few Thalers there as well but the main interest of course was that dime. I don't have the buyers information unfortunately. I do have the auction guys name and number, I'll give him a call and see what it was since I'm fairly sure he keeps a log of those but likely won't be a photo of the slab or anything. :(

I think this coin is MS, but lower MS. Maybe MS-61. Too many carbon marks, and the luster isn't strong enough for 63...but I don't see any wear either. Detail wise, it is definitely stronger than my PCGS AU-55. Nice one!

That dime was a MS62. I just called and asked, for all those wondering.
