    Hello,
    I am a fan of FEC and I was wondering who has all of them, and what do you think of the design.
    Thanks

    I like the design, but don't have all of them. The 1856 is tough to find in a grade I can afford.

    I've liked Flying Eagle cents ever since I was about 8 years old. This is my favorite one

    My sentiments exactly.
    But I still love the Indian Head cents that replaced them, and in fact IHCs were among my favorite coins when I was starting out in the '60s. :)

    I almost said something similar to that. I too love Indian Cents, maybe they could've waited to 1870 to end FECs?

    I've got one for my type set.
    1858 Small Letters/MS-64

    Just looked at my image of it and it's now on my re-image list.
    I've improved my technique but that means redoing a lot of my coins.
    I think I've imaged some of my coins 3-4 times already.
    This gets VERY tiring.

    yea they are very beautiful coins and the Dansco Indian Head Cent Album is my favorite one out of all my collection, i think they should make the lincoln cents with a eagle back or with the IHC back just for the look.

    I've got several, but they aint no MS-64 thats for sure. I like the design but the folks back then thought it resembled a buzzard and so came the public outcry to get rid of it. To bad we can't do that today, it would be non-stop...

    I've got one. An 1857 if I remember correctly. DDO too! Very nice variety that I picked up at a coin show earlier this summer. I always wanted one really bad, so I was happy to get a good deal on one.
