I know the color on them is not like a wheatie but I'd say........... probably not.

I think the color is realistic for a CuNi Flying Eagle. Nice coin and certainly worth the submittal fee.

It sure looks cleaned to me but I am in no way a copper expert. I certainly understand your questioning this cent. I'll wait to see what the consensus of the copper experts ends up being on this one.

This it is a clear clean coin. will come back Detail. Is not need an expert to see this. My estimation: clean 3 to 5 years ago.

The obverse looks fine, but the reverse looks questionable at most. I imagine it would come back as a 45 or 50.
