Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 10:11 pm I went to a coin show today and picked up some nice coins to fill some holes including a 1867 3 cent piece for $12, and an 1857 flying eagle for $5. The dealer also had 20 cent pieces for around $20 each which I think is too good to be true. I decided to hold off on one of them. I suspect that they might be fake due to the low asking price, how often, if at all, are they counterfeited? Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 11:44 pm I'd expect a $5 Flying Eagle cent to be pretty much a cull, either very heavily worn or damaged. What kind of shape was the one you purchased? Can you post a photo? Report this Post to the Staff
