    I really hate to see beautiful coins like this Flying Eagle Cent senselessly vandalized. Someone scratched off the date of this coin. I bought it for next to nothing out of a dealer's junk box. What a shame.

    Think someone was trying to make a fake pattern?

    It's strange how they wiped out the date like that. Someone must have had a frustrating day,

    That was a nice Flying eagle before they clobbered it. It has fine detail.

    I have seen worse and usually they are being sold as 1856. :) Still glad the coin found a good home.

    It could have also been altered to a 1856 and it was found out so someone re-altered the date so it would not fool anyone. :thumb:
