The listing, +++1858 FLYING EAGLE PENNY+++155 YEARS OLD+++GREAT LOW GIN 22,222 has ended.
+++1858 Flying Eagle Penny+++155 YEARS OLD+++This is the oldest US coin I've personally auctioned here on Listia and if you don't have it, JUMP ON IT NOW! It was only minted 1856-1858. The coin is a nice clean coin in reasonably good condition for a circulated coin of this age. All details are worn but readable, with several feathers still detectable in the eagles wings. Nice clear fields with no notable scratches on the obverse and one scratch on the reverse, notable only when magnified. There are no remarkably notable dents or scratches anywhere on the coin however when magnified, there are a few small dings on the reverse side, outside rim. Nicer Flying Eagles aren't terrible difficult to find, but aren't cheap!
THIS IS A "LOW" GIN SINCE YEOMAN'S OFFICIAL REDBOOK HAS A "STARTING" VALUE OF $28 FOR THIS COIN!
