Flying Eagle Cent and Type Coin Dealer Websites

Hello,
I have been working on my US Type set for the past 2 years or so. I am working on a small budget, so I am typically trying to find a undamaged, uncleaned coin showing the majority of the details at the lowest cost possible. I am about 50 coins in, through the moderns, now I am working my way into some classic coins. I have been looking for a Flying Eagle cent in the $50 price range for the majority of these 2 years on and off. Currently I am sorting through the inventory from reputable online dealers, my dealer list is as follows:

www.alaskacoinexchange.com
www.harlanjberk.com
www.millersmint.com
www.vtcoins.com
www.typecoins.com/

If you are familiar with these dealers, you will see that they all have a good size inventory of low to moderate to expensive coins. They all post pictures, or will post ones if requested. I have also searched Teletrade and Ebay.

Any other dealers that I should add to my list?

For the Flying Eagle Cent I am considering the following for $40 plus shipping:

or this one:

Thoughts on these? Other options in this price range that I should consider from a reputable dealer?

Thanks!

    Might want o add the pennylady to your list- lots of higher end material but I bet she can help in the mid range too.
    And of course, keep an eye on the BST boards here.

    Thanks for the quick replies. I will take a look at pennylady and the BST boards.

    Any other votes?

    The first one seems fair at $40.

    I went with #1 above from HJB. Thanks for the input! Can't wait to see it in hand!

    The first one is far better. The second one appears to have some light porosity although less than perfect photography might be playing a fact. The dark color looks like corrosion to me. The first one has far better eye appeal. I would grade it VF-25.
