Newp Flying Eagle Cent for my type set

[AnkurJ]

There were only a few coins I needed for my US type set, and the flying eagle cent was one of them. While it is an easy coin to find any practically any grade, I did not want an ordinary example. I wanted one with at least some nice color and a full strike.

 

There was an example in a Heritage sale a last year with beautiful irredescent toning, but it surpased my budget. So browsing the examples in the FUN sale, I came across this NGC/CAC example with nice highlights of color. I threw in a bid, and it was enough to win the piece at a fraction of what other examples had sold for.

 

I'm very pleased with this example, and as stated above, it is CAC approved. Feel free to guess the grade!

 

 

Thanks for looking,

Ankur

I'll guess 64 but reverse looks 65

Looks like a solid MS 64 – nice coin .

I'm with 64 and a green bean. 64+ that is. That is a well hammered Cu-Ni!

[Coindude]

Nice example, small chatter below the Eagle keeps it from 65 I'm thinking.

[Dwaine]

Very nice coin and yes I am thinking 64 as well.

There was one in a Heritage sale last year with beautiful prooflike surfaces, but it also quickly surpassed my budget. I can feel your pain.

 

That looks like a nice coin, congrats on filling that spot.

I think you meant a fraction of what SOME other examples had sold for. That one word does make a big difference.

 

Still, that looks like a nice one - I think I bid on it.

I like it. Looks like a nice FE.
