I am getting ready to sell this 1858 Flying Eagle Penny. What would you think is a fair price?

Now you post your question... If it were me, I'd list it on eBay with a $35 starting bid.

I hope that non-smart ass answers are allowed in this thread. If so, my guess would be about $35.

Edited to add: I see that another poster had a similar value estimate, but, if I were selling on Ebay, I would list it at no reserve.

I am aware of that. But, in what way, if any, do you feel that I mischaracterized the initial replies?

Are you related to my ex-wife? She always had to be right too.

I am open to the possibility that I was wrong, But if so, just tell me how? Your ex-wife told me that you like to get the last word, so this will be my last post to this thread - go for it.
