Is This 1856 Flying Eagle Genuine It Weighs Out Exactly

Coinfrog got it. One 1856 fake a week gets posted on here.

No its not genuine.

The 6 is too large and unevenly formed. On a genuine 1856, the left point of the curve in the 5 points directly down to the middle of a round serif ball, not to the left side of a deformed ball as here. The whole date logo is terrible.

I still dont understand why people tell others a coin is "FAKE" with no explanation. Coinfrog did But had to be asked why he thought it was fake

But we are all still trying to learn

And why do many new members with just one post think they won the coin lottery?

I'll bet if you do a random sample of members that post 1 time, its all:

In the error forum:
"Hey, I found this coin in a parking lot that I ran over a few times. Looking at it, this coin is an error how much is it worth"

Or in the Canadian Forums:

"I found the dot cent. I know there are only 3 known but I have the fourth and while you can't see the dot, its there"

Or in the coin forums:

"I found a Copper 1943 cent, yes its heavier than a regular copper, I can see the steel underneath and it sticks to a Magnet, but its authentic"

Or

"I have a Flying Eagle and since the date isn't visible, it must be a 1856"

Or

"My no date Standing Liberty quarter has to be a 1916, even though the date and reverse or from a type 3"

That's why you get a curt response. The OP doesn't care about the coin, all they see is $$$$, so the answer is right to the point. Its not worth wasting time trying to explain, because most don't care.

That's true. That's why we answer. But the magnetic copper thing is annoying. Everyone knows copper is not magnetic
