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.

HH,

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.
 

WOW nice find! The government must be playing a cruel joke on me the last 11 boxes i have gotten have been brand new 2011s if the FBI is watching this quit it will ya. :'(
 

Awesome!! That is one of my favorite coins!! Congrats!
 

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. :hello2:
