Wikipedia has a very brief overview.
Yes, if you submitted that for grading, you'd be spending $30-35+ to grade a ten-cent item.
Mine is too, but was actually struck much later (ca. 1902, as mentioned). But I think his probably is from 1837, or thereabouts. Which is what...
Usually it's, "Thanks for your money, better luck next time!" At least in the case of a failed crossover or something. But in the case of a No...
Neato! So that "Time Is Money" motif actually does date back to the Hard Times era, then! I wasn't sure, because my Peacock token with that...
You have better eyes than I do, apparently. I don't see nuffin'. *shrugs*
I think they would indeed return a dateless coin ("no service"). Unless, perhaps, it is a one-year type (like an 1853 Arrows & Rays quarter or...
And what year would that be? Blank? LOL
Just worth about a dime or so, since it's dateless. There is a market for the dateless ones, from people who make jewelry. Unfortunately, the...
Well, Feuchtwanger was German (albeit Bavarian rather than Prussian), so maybe that motif goes back a ways in German tradition. The Mexicans have...

Mine was 150 bucks more. $189 with free shipping. Which I still thought was a good deal for an AU53.
I don't know, offhand. The Wikipedia article about them doesn't go into much detail on that. I'm sure it was mostly New York, but given the...
This one is free of major problems, but is weakly struck on the obverse, affecting the upper portion of the legend as well as the eagle's head....
This one has an old hairline scratch near the 12:00 position and some small marks, particularly around the eagle's head, but is otherwise a...
Feuchtwanger's composition (the alloy) stood the test of time very well, almost always retaining a nice silvery color, even though there's no...
These are cool in any condition. Here's mine. Not trying to show yours up- I guarantee I had to pay a lot more than you did! ;) [ATTACH] I...
Look around. We are on the World forum now. ;)
Let fly with your Flyers here! These two 1857 Flying Eagle cents are nothing special- just a pair of average circulated examples I was uploading...
