<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3612915, member: 101855&quot;]Here are the two Flyers that are in my collection. This one is PCGS graded MS-65.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]967587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]967588[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This 1858 is NGC graded MS-64. Oddly enough PCGS bounced this back to me in a &quot;body bag&quot; because they said it was artificially toned. I was not pleased to say the least. I felt like sending them a match book cover that offered a course in coin grading. NGC gave it a grade, which it deserved. This happened about 20 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]967589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]967590[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an interesting observation. I believe that James Longacre &quot;borrowed&quot; the design that appeared on the reverse of the Gobrecht Dollar for the Flying Eagle Cent. Here is that reverse. What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]967591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]967592[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint was making restrikes of the Gobrecht Dollar in the late 1850s at the time when the agency introduced the Flying Eagle Cent. This Gobrecht Dollar is an original 1836 strike with the eagle flying &quot;onward and upward.&quot; It is a PCGS PR-62, CAC.</p><p><br /></p><p>This Gobrecht Dollar was probably struck in the late 1850s.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]967594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]967595[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
