Wonderful new Flying Eagle variety

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140058404496

I call it the "dotted denticles" variety. I emailed the seller to let him know what a rare and unusual piece this is. I proposed two options: either he might want to pull the auction, and thus keep this amazing piece for his own family's posterity, or he might want to update the description to reflect the "special features" of this coin. Apparently neither suggestion interests him...

    For clarity: The coin is an obvious counterfeit.

  • Knowing little about Flyers I must still assume that your"rare and unusual dotted denticles" post is tongue in cheek--unless of course you are a true humanitarian nice guy. Looks strange to me--must be the Italian issue of the 1857.

    I tried to report it as well, but the ebay system says the number is not valid????? Maybe it is being yanked at this moment?
