Thats the funniest coin ive seen in a while i was dieing lmao !!

 

Maybe stands for Flying eagle ART?

 

I laughed so hard I cried. My wife looks at me like, "What's wrong with you???"

 

Result of harsh cleaning.

 

Wonder what that merchant is trying to sell me?

 

Hot air.

 

Blew the feathers right off that poor bird!

 

I wonder if it smells bad?

 

I just broke wind cause I was laughing so hard I think maybe this eagle has a strong tailwind making it fly either that or it had beans for dinner!!

 

Call this a farting eagle cent!!

 

The wind beneath its wings!!

 

OK, that is awesome.

 

I saw the coin listed and briefly thought about putting in a bid but didn't. It is a cool coin though.

Transit token for Fresno Area Rapid Transit.

 

^makes me so glad I opted NOT for the smell-o-vision monitor.

 

Used to buy beans!!

 

Haha if I had seen that auction I probably would have tried to bid for it

 

There are a few others I know of that use cruder words than that...but they're still...how do you say? "Interesting". I can't just spell them out here or Doug will hunt me down, but one is for a #2. Another that some of you are familiar with is the really bad word for a woman who is not a nice person...to say the least. Another one I can think of is a variation of the first one with a four letter word starting in "B" before it. Maybe our 19th century relatives weren't as "Victorian" as we thought. OK, I gotta run, I hear Doug's footsteps closing in.

Love it!! I've seen similar wordage in other early pieces other than coins including an 18th c English ceramic plate with a bad word beginning with a c inscribed in the back by the potter in this case I'm just wondering if it was an acronym for something they were oblivious to of was it referring to flatulence
