    I had one. I found it in circulation in the fifties. Not in real good condition, but it was something I kept for many years.

    Okay, here's my biggie.
    1856 PCGS MS-62 S-3
    Note that it's an MS rather than a PF.
    The S-3 variety is considered a business strike.

    Definitely need an armed guard on that one. Any idea of how many of these are known to exist?

    Yes the 1856 is a monster. Beauty.

    I'll guess that 56 is in the 20K range.

    For those that might be interested, The FLY-N CLUB will be having a meeting at the FUN show in January. Everyone is welcome. Rick Snow and Charmy always have fun information to share.

    Almost any Flyer is going to be an anti-climax after that one. Here's mine, which lives in a PCGS MS-63 holder. I'll probably have it reslabbed, since I can't seem to remove the smudge on the reverse plastic, and I may see if I can have the verdigris stabilized at the same time:

    21k if I recall correctly.
    And it's got an Eagle Eye sticker.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I only own one, for my typeset. Graded NGC MS-64 PL. Prooflike Flyers are super rare, but this one has very attractive reflective surfaces. JPA1038 obverse.jpg JPA1038 reverse.jpg
