The obverse rim hit at 4:00 is probably a factor in the price. And the color, at least in these pics, does not appear natural.

It's real, large letters variety, color looks correct, does have rim damage. $12 is decent market value.

Thanks all for the feedback! I am very grateful. @ExoGuy, my son has the RedBook, which is how he learned of the Flying Eagle penny.

Nice coin for the money. I've been collecting for 35+ years and have always been fascinated by the flying eagle series. Not sure why it fascinates me so, but surprisingly enough, I've yet to actually own one. I'll have to make that change here soon.

Nice buy. I know how it feels to get a coin for Chanukkah, so I know your son will love it

I'd rather have Flying Eagle cents than chocolate gelt. :)
