      Probably somebody made mistake and thought it was foreign coin.

        Tough to tell but it looks like a SL not a LL.

        Needs an overlay to be sure.

          Hadn't seen a Flying Eagle find in a long time. Was it change or in the coin star?

            That is awesome... Can not believe some one would spend that... Still has good detail showing and I am no grader but I would think a low to mid VG???

              Wow! Unreal. I have found a few in my bag and customer rolls searches but they were all worn to a nub.

                Nice find and looks to be in very nice condition! I would not have a clue on the grade though.

                  Wow! Congrats on a great find, it looks really good! I'm with Bob, was it change or the reject bin at Coinstar?

                    WOW if that is a real WALMART find. It looks VF to me, VF Greysheet runs $42 - $45.00 in VF. That is a very lucky pull!

                        I may have to start shopping at Walmart, again.

                          Very nice find.
                          I was thinking vf also with all those feathers visible.
