1857 Flying Eagle Cent (PCGS AU58). Just got this TrueView photo back this week! Rare to see color on a Flying Eagle Cent. I think the higher nickel content (88% copper and 12% nickel) inhibited toning. Starting in 1865, the composition of small cents was changed to 95% copper and 5% tin/zinc, which opened the toning floodgates. This coin exhibits secondary album toning (I believe), with the characteristic target pattern (obverse only). Flying Eagle Cents have one of the shortest runs for any generally circulating U.S. coin series, minted for only 3 years (1856, 1857, and 1858).

Got this in the mail today! 1868-S Seated Half with mispunched date in dentils! WB-104. Not sure how rare it is, but I love that crusty, problem-free circulated look!

Bought my first Seated Liberty dime today (1876). I was looking for a Barber Dime which I also don't have yet (obviously a newbie) but it caught my eye and was marked down by six dollars. Don't have pics yet but it is in Very Good condition. Also pulled a Mexican 30% silver 50ct coin from the ten-cent box.

 

I've had better luck finding half cents vs. large cents. I got a good deal on this one last week. NGC VF20.
