As an aside, for the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, something I'd not considered before; it was my understanding that none of the 1856 Flying Eagle cent were meant for circulation, they were minted for various Federal officials as an example of the new small cents, just a few hundred of them, and later there was interest from the public who could buy some which the US mint produced were specially minted for these collectors. Does the 1856 FEC have status as a "special issue" experimental coin? Some of the older small cent albums for FEC do not have a slot for the 1856.

True, but this topic has over 500 views and will continue to show up in searches. Would be nice if people who land here in the future find an answer and not (another) dead end


@jbuck

A little controversy is good sometimes


And if you noticed I used visuals to show why the coin was fake.

The 1 in the date also looks wrong.

Meaning that it is a full counterfeit not a modified 1858.

@oldfordman, I posted on page 2 why its a counterfeit, this isn't a modified Flying Eagle, its a cast copy. There are other tells but I'm not posting them as the counterfeiter will know what we are looking at.
