<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Johnson, post: 7887015, member: 96020&quot;]So many times someone comes on here telling us their father or grandfather died and left them a collection and they wonder about a particular coin, and that coin turns out to be a very rare and valuable coin, of course.&nbsp; So forgive me for being skeptical.&nbsp; In 1853, patterns were made for what would become the flying eagle cent.&nbsp; They were used to decide on the metal composition and they were about the size of a dime.&nbsp; However, if you actually had one of those it shouldn&#039;t show that much wear, because they were never put&nbsp; into circulation.&nbsp; So either your grandmother somehow came across a fake or you are trying to scam us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
