    All three of them appear to be fakes.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Fakes, to be sure.

    With the right connections, these can be purchased by the pound. In hand they even look cheaper.

    Although I've seen these D/S and O/C
    Liberty Nickels in the past year, the
    1856 Flying Eagle is a 'first viewing' for me.

    Interesting how the two bidders on these
    Chinese fakes have zero feedback, and
    almost 2K feedback....seems like one is
    either a shill or a local Chinese who just
    doesn't know, but the high-feedback bidder
    is a bit strange...oh well........
