Are you sure that it's an 1856? Can you post a close up of the date? If it is what you say you just hit the jackpot. Only 2,000 of these minted and probably worth at least $5,000.
 

Are you positive it's a 1856 if it is holy crap is right! Way to go

Dig until your arm falls off
 

I can't get it to focus in the camera! The coin is in very bad shape you can barely read the date with a loop but I am 100% it says 1856! How do you know it's worth 5000! And are you just messin with me

Are you guys messin with me I found a 1853 half dime as well no pics yet ill have some in a bit! I thought it was an INDIAN til I got home
 

No we are not messing if its a 56 you hit a jackpot and will have a hard time beating that.

Dig until your arm falls off
 

And the53 half dime if it has no arrows could be worth a large chunk of cash as well

Dig until your arm falls off
 

It has arrows next to the date
 

Is the 53 a key date

Try taking your loop and holding it up to your camera lens

Dig until your arm falls off
 

So tell me more about this penny is it a banner find
 

PCGS says that there are only 500 to 600 1856 Flying Eagles known to exist. If it truly is an 1856 it could be worth a small fortune even in very poor condition.

Flying Eagle Cent (1856-1858)

Great finds there Petrie! If it was my Eagle Cent I wouldn't care what the date was. It would be my first one and I would want to keep it regardless.
 

So I looked at the site he posted how about a 57 or 58 so they only made a few years!!!! HOLY **** I JUST LOOKED ON EBAY
 

Dude I swear to god I can make out the 5 and the 6 but it's so bad of shape I can't make out the 1 or 8
