<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furham, post: 3427793, member: 19750&quot;]I knew I read this somewhere.&nbsp; He was trying to obtain as many as possible to drive up the price.&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Flying Eagle cents have proved enormously popular over the decades, beginning with the pattern issue of 1856. It is unclear exactly how many 1856 cents were struck, but the best estimates fall in the range of 800 to as many as 1,500 pieces. Both proofs and business strikes were made, as well as originals and restrikes. All are valuable and have been extensively hoarded over the years, the most famous hoard of which came from the estate of Colonel John A. Beck, who at one time owned 531 pieces.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
