SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 11/20/2007 04:11 am Flying Eagle cent for your grading. This coin has a weak strike on the reverse "ONE CENT" and it's one of the reason why the design was changed to Indian Head cent; but actually, it's not the design, it's the metal that caused the "weak-strike" problem. The white thing on the E of "State" on the Obverse is a piece of cotton or dust on my scanner.

okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 11/20/2007 10:14 am Hey Bruce, I agree that the the reverse is a poor strike. I would say an F-12 with around half of the feather detail showing. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 11/22/2007 9:57 pm Thanks guys. I believe so too. Now, my next question is: should I put it up here for auction or sell it on ebay? Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 11/23/2007 01:38 am Auction it here, or on ebay? ebay will certainly expose it to more buyers, which is a plus. Selling it here involves less overhead, which is a plus. If you know what you want for it, a strategy I've seen used a number of times is to see if you can get the price you want here at CCF (sell for a fixed price, or start the auction at or close the price you want). If there are no takers, then go to ebay. Edited by Bilbo 11/24/2007 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
