<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alrox, post: 1423649, member: 37659&quot;]I am very new to collecting, and new here.&nbsp; I recently picked up a 1857 FLying Eagle Cent at an auction.&nbsp; It was part of a lot, and is not in great condition.&nbsp; It has several pits and stress cracks in the field.&nbsp; What is intriguing is that the edge appears to have letters stamped on it, and is flattened out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can find nothing researching it, and was hoping for some opinions as to whether or not something like this could be a mint error.&nbsp; The pointer is where the &quot;letters&quot; appear on the outer edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any thoughts.</p><p>[ATTACH]173598.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]173599.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]173600.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
