Would you own a dipped Proof 65 Cameo Flying Eagle cent ?

STEWARTBLAYNUMIS

or An original proof 64 (non cameo) Flying Eagle cent ?


I would buy the original AND I feel it is worth MORE MONEY than the stripped and dipped coin.

What would you own ?

I would have to see both coins, but I would lean more towards the proof 64 that hasnt been messed with.

I'd take the original, lower graded coin without the slightest hesitation.

dipped... NO! original...YES!

nwcs

Sure, if it was the only one of the two I could actually afford.

The one with more eye appeal, most likely the latter...Mike

I'd buy the Gobrecht Dollar and skip that little ol' thing.

Chips are for Dipping, NOT 1856 Flying eagles. I also feel who ever dipped it ought to have their A$$ kicked!

No question, this.

I love AU Flying Eagle cents. I will never buy an uncirculated one. They don't do anything for me.

I just love the near uncirculated ones, especially the 1856 issue.

is this a trick question?

For those that don't know what my choice is you will find my answer in my sig line.

The big boys buy 'em. Many end up back in auctions...time and time again.

I've always said that a man you can dip with is a man you can reason with.

ER

Show me the coins, and I'll tell you.

TUMUSS

Depends on the coins themselves...

Shamika

You can keep the dipped coin. I'll take the original.

michael

need to see both coins then i can let you know

proof copper nickel cents if done correctly lend well to dipping IF it is the right coin with the right look and again done correctly

Most likely I'd prefer the original coin...but I wouldn't make the final decision until I saw the coins. Some dipped coins are considerably better and less "stripped" than others, and some "original" coins can have unattractive toning.
