I got myself an early Christmas present. I thought $68 was a good price for this coin.   |

Very nice, Seeker! Yes, it looks like it has shellac (which isn't a problem).
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Flying Eagles can be addictive. When you buy one, it tends to become two, then a few, then . . . yep! Nice coin, and enjoy it!

Thanks! I've been wanting one for quite a while now but they've always sold for more than I would pay for the condition. This particular auction had some rarer cents and lower mintage cents in it which took the attention away from this one.

Nice! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very nice addition. Quote:
