<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 23329322, member: 101855&quot;]I used to love Indian Cents. My main goal was to complete a conventional set (no minor varieties, there are no books on them anyway back then) when I was in high school. I did that minus the 1856 Flyer and one of the 1886 varieties. I sold that set for a big loss in the early ‘70s. It was a combination of paying full retail and a very poor market for Indian Cents at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a nice set of the Civil War era dates that I will post later. I have thought about collecting another set. The ‘56 Flyer is still off the table. I could do it now, but I don’t like most of the examples I’ve seen, and “the fire is not in my belly” for the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors don’t know this, but there have been two hoards of over 700, 1856 Flying Eagle cents. There was probably a lot of overlap between them, but it’s interesting that so many of them were together at one time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
