    I love those Pegasus Mobil Oil giveaways. My first ever car key to my first ever car was on a Mobil Oil Pegasus key blank. That car was a 1967 Pontiac GTO that I bought in 1972 from my supervisor at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He was the first owner. I was the second.

    Oh , BTW , your description and analysis look Good to Go !!

    This ain't no steenkin' oil company giveaway.

    Look- it says it right there on the slab label! Struck over a key date Flying Eagle cent, no less! See the red arrows in my image in the OP, above. They show all the diagnostic points of my analysis.

    (PS- the slab itself is also a rare error! Looks like I mistyped they misspelled "overstruck" on the label!) :hilarious:

    Question: How do you turn a 17th century coin into a 4th century BC coin?
    Answer: Through time travel, while taking a flying eagle cent with you and striking it into an ancient coin. :hilarious:
    I seriously think you should send this one back for a re grade and make them pay all of the money for it.

    Edited the thread title, because, as any successful eBay seller will tell you, "L@@K!!!" is so much more effective than "look".

    If y'all don't agree that this coin was overstuck on a Fling Eagle cent, I will attach it to every message I post from now on.
