If you squint really hard, you can see my first flying Eagle cent WooHoo

Got back to my coworkers house at lunch today, where I dug the 1903 indian at lunch earlier in the week. When I dug this beauty I was pretty sure what it was.

If I squint, wet it, hold it just right, and do a few shots of Tequila, I think I see a 7

Well she's toasted but It looks like this is going to be a great site.

Thanks for looking and HH

Looks like a 7 to me also! Don't look at it straight on from your computer, look at it from an angle and it squashes the pixels together making it stand out more.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure this is a virgin site. lots of trash but lots of potential.

Yeah that's how I ended up seeing it.

It's amazing but when it is dry you can't see any detail at all.

Cool find! I think the flying eagle cent is one of the best looking American coin designs ever. I used to have one but I gave it to someone & can't remember who, it's been so long.

Dab a bit of olive oil on it and let it sit for an hour. Should be able to see the details better then. Worked on my V nickle.

Thanks I'll give that a try. It sure is not pretty to look at when it is dry. Can't see anything.

Thanks Neil

I don't know nsdq, I think it's a 7 but sometimes if the angle is right.... I'll give it a soak in some olive oil and see if any more detail emerges. I'll post a new pic here if it gets looking any better
