<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 7913473, member: 21705&quot;]Flying Eagles - I assume the 1868s are a typo and 1858s are what you meant. Small Cents are usually what is referenced by the term Flying Eagle, but somewhere in the back of my mind, the term was used for a pattern or two, possibly gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1856 Flying Eagle has been a point of debate on whether it was considered a pattern or a General Issue, though it appears that general issue has won the day. The Whitman Folder had slots for 1857, 1858 Small Letters ans 1858 Large Letters when I was young.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I do seem to recall a Private mint flying eagle and it might have been 1868.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
