Flying Eagle Find

[DirtDigler]

So I get a weak signal with the numbers bouncing around in the 60s. Normally, that's a shotgun shell, but not this time. I lightly brushed it off and saw the back. Looked like your typical Indian head cent. So I stuck it in my pocket to clean up later. Once home, I soaked it in acetone awhile. Something different... a flying eagle cent! Very cool! Since they were only struck for circulation for two years, they don't turn up every day. This is the second 1857 from the same site.

Nickel would be more accurate. That is what they were called. That or "White Cents". Not a bad looking one either!
