Hello all! Haven't been here in a while. My primary site is down right now unfortunately.
I have a New thread here for you all. I'm calling it " Flying Eagle Friday!" Please post a flying eagle cent if you could.
This is my 1857 FEC that I received a long time ago in change form a convenience store.

Here is my only example (it was cracked out for a type set album):
Whenever I see these for about $15.00 in problem free condition I will buy it. I have about 30+ of these on a Dansco cent page and will continue to purchase these when I stumble upon them, such as this example (arrived today):

As a two-year type coin I think they are slightly underrated.

These three that i have are from my LCS and one of them is supposedly a "brothel cent", the veracity of which has never been determined.

Brothel cent????
Hopefully the above picture is not against the forum rules and if it is so, will gladly delete it if someone notifies me.

Doesn't offend me because I just see it as art ( the coin).
I would think it was done much later than the word "Brothel" was used. Now they probably just call it "The Red Roof Inn".

I bought this as a 66, and when I got it in hand, I liked it so much, that I then sent it back to PCGS for Reconsideration. They agreed with me, and added on the plus.
