I've got another Flying Eagle cent to show, but this one looks cleaned to me and I'm probably going to send it back. But first I thought I'd see what CCF members think. It's a nice AU 1858 LL, but the surfaces look flat to me and there are faint lines on the surfaces under magnification. It was a lot of money for my budget, so I want to make the right decision. Thanks. I should add the the appearances are certainly noticeable when compared to the 1857 I posted several days ago.     Paul Bulgerin

Lightly cleaned, IMO.

I would say it probably is. The reverse you can see the hairlines it looks like. I liked the other coin better.

You can see by the darkness in the letters that it has been lightly cleaned.

Again, partially cleaned, but if you didn't pay too much for it I'd hold onto it since it's such a nice details piece.

What a shame, has such good bones. Would've been worth a lot had they left it alone.
