EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 09:22 am 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.

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.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7277 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 10:39 am @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.
