    You know what, I'm weary of that company and you should get a second opinion. I see a lot of unmarked cleaned coins on their site.

    I requested some images from wscoins. Fastcoins only has a couple to choose from and I don't seem to agree with their grades on them... I will see what wscoins comes back with.

    Anyone else have some links to some FE cents or have other dealers I could consider?

    Still no reply from wscoins...
    I dug up a few more options. Thoughts on these: Better than the original #1?

    $40 (I like this one)

    $55

    I like the bottom one though the strike on the obverse is just a little weak

    I like the two new ones, but of those two, I prefer the 1st.

    I like the first one as well. $40 sounds like a fair price.

    The first has stronger obverse details but the second has stronger reverse details. Both are great coins though.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. From the 1st round people liked:

    Second round a few mentioned:

    On these Flying Eagle cents I have seen a variety of color tones. The first one here is quite grey, while the 2nd is light tan. Can someone explain the reason for the difference in color? Something to do with the 88% copper, 12% nickel composition? I do like the look of the 2nd one listed here. Again, I appreciate your comments on these $40 and under coins...
