Flying Eagle with Minor Clipped Planchet

Just got this photo back from wonderful Todd and I really like the look of it so I just had to post it. It's only a minor clip, but it's pretty rare to see a clip in a high grade Flying Eagle cent. Kind of pretty, huh!

very attractive piece.

 

I might have missed the clip if you didn't say it had one. Awesome coin overall.

 

long slow descending whistle sound... wow! what a coin.

 

Charmy, you know I love all the coins you post. From what you have shown us you must have an awesome copper collection. Keep those great photos coming.

Thanks Bruce, I really appreciate that! I do love sharing my copper and am glad there are some that enjoy it too!

 

Nice charmy! Is it new to you? I think this is the first clip I've seen on an IHC before.

 

Hi Snaz, I know, I don't think I've ever seen a clipped Flying Eagle before. And actually I've owned this one for probably 10 years or so, just never had a photo of it - thanks to Todd, I can share my pretty little guys with everyone now! I'm taking it to the ANA and will drop it off for grading while I'm there.
