Need a little more info on this piece. I love Flying Eagle cents and had to have this (token) for my collection since no Flying Eagle cents were minted in 1859. It's obverse: ISSAC STEVENS VANDERBILT and the reverse: HAPPY NEW YEAR. Looks to be lead plated with copper. The design elements after studying as compared to a Flying Eagle cent, are almost identical. The weight of this piece is 5.2g as compared to 4.7g for a normal cent. Thanks in advance
