1858 FLYING EAGLE CENT

[goldencoin]

Hello, a dream came true tonight, I found the holy grail of small cents, a Flying Eagle cent! Found at the bottom of a pile of penny boxes from a favored pick up bank. In the rest of the box, I found a 1913D, which is a new date for my records. For the curious, I have been through about $8,000 in pennies, and found 6,348 wheats, and 12 Indian head pennies from 1891-1907. This beats my previous oldest CRH coin, a 1890 V nickel.

nice score. I found one in a roll of pennies myself earlier this year.

Wow, usually if somebody finds one of these it's a total cull. That one is collectible quality.

All I can say is WOW. congrats on your dream find, in great shape too!! Since the coin is almost the thickness of 2 pennies, I am suprised the coin packing machines allowed it into the roll of coins.
