At the same cellar hole i found my other 2 LC's at yesterday, i found my very first Flying Eagle cent, after careful cleaning was finally able to get a date, 1858, was hoping and praying for a 1856 but i'll take this any day. Unfortunately it's pretty toasted but can still make out the eagle and the date.

I'd guess 56. Well done! I'm still waiting for one of those buggers!

Can you post a better picture? The 1856 is really a pattern piece and it was not made for circulation most were given to members of Congress, a few were restruct to trade with collectors to obtain coins for the Mint collection.
