1857 Flying Eagle Eyespy!

[mangum]

Hello all! I got out with a few friends today & we hit some apartments from the 1940s that will be torn down soon. I was hoping to find a little silver. I never expected to find a flying eagle cent (my 2nd)! It was laying right on top of the ground! I thought it was a modern penny but when I swung over it rang up as 60, def not a modern penny. I took a closer look & saw the date. You never know! I also picked up a few memorials right on top. I finished the day with a 56 Roosevelt, a Mexico 925 ring, 3 wheats & a neat 58 Caribbean Elizabeth II 1 cent. Thanks for looking & HH!

Neat Flyer! A nice electrolysis bath and she'll look (almost) good as new.

No, I found it with my eyes! I just saw it on top of the ground. It rang up 60 when I went over it. (AT Pro)

Looks like it was a good hunt! Congrats!

Awesome digs.. It's hard enough to find a F.E. but to find one eyeballing on top of the ground, that's crazy.

I think this one is staying dirty... I would be sad if I tried to clean it & that date went away.

Very cool M!! I have only dug one & it was from a U.S. Colored Troop site at a RR Trestle. WTG, Q.

Amazing to find that on the surface! Go play the lottery!

You figure some kid borrowed it from Dad's coin collection and dropped it there? Either way, good eye spotting it and saving it.
