<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bedford, post: 1553462, member: 4917&quot;]Ill say that the coating isnt actually gold . The wear on the coin suggests to me the amount of time would have been quite some years &amp; the story was out &amp; the jig was up by then.That is why I think this is a late date / coated piece.Also the coin has damage from what looks to be an old pin mounting on the reverse. This coin would not grade at any reputable service because of the damage.</p><p>The 1858 Flying Eagle cent is a different size than the nickel. The design &amp; date is visable under the provided magnification in the listing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
