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.
on your 1st FE.

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.
