The FlyIn Club is Flyin’ Once Again on the Internet!

A New Site Takes Flight: The Fly-In Club Soars Again into Online Skies

A Warm Congratulations to the Fly-In Club Community

The Fly-In Club, a haven for collectors of the revered Flying Eagle cents and Indian cents, now spreads its wings in triumphant return to the vast expanse of the internet. Warmest congratulations to the entire Fly-In Club community on this occasion. We’re so pleased to be a part of it.

The Fly-In Club’s new website is a beacon, welcoming coin collectors from all over. Anybody interested in James Longacre’s designs will find friends at the Fly-In Club. Check out the site, and you’ll find insights, stories, and the occasional hidden gem. Whether you’re a seasoned collector seeking to enhance your collection or a curious newcomer looking to take the first step into the captivating world of coin collecting with Flying Eagle cents (FECs) and Indian cents (IHCs), this site is here to illuminate your journey.

We’ll take a moment now to honor the club’s past webmaster, David Noble who passed on a few years ago. We hope to honor his legacy with this new site.

The Spirit of Community

Much like the coins that bring you together, each with its unique history and allure, the Fly-In Club’s new website embodies the spirit of unity and shared fascination. It is a testament to the power of collective enthusiasm for these beautiful and interesting pieces of history, where every member contributes to the tapestry of the community. As you poke around, remember, this website represents a vibrant, thriving community, nurtured by a common passion for coins.

Members also get Longacre’s Ledger three times a year. It’s a phenomenal numismatic periodical that really digs into these series with all their intrigue and varieties.

And we’d like to offer our thanks to both Chris Pilliod and Rick Snow for their opportunity to take on this challenge with them. As big fans of coins with a few coin dealers as customers, it is with great joy that we manage the Fly-In Club website for the foreseeable future. We, too, are collectors, and we love our Flying Eagles and our Indian Cents. Such beautiful and historic designs that marked an important change in American numismatics. From the venerable 1856 Flying Eagle, some say the King of Small Cents, to the 1877 and 1909-S Indian Cents, if you want to know more you’d better talk to the people at the Fly-In Club!

The hope is to have the site updated regularly with fresh content from the membership. Whether it’s news about upcoming meetings or interesting new discoveries, we the new flyinclub.org will foster interest in these great coins.

To the Fly-In Club, its members, and all who have worked to bring this project to fruition, we extend our heartfelt congratulations. May your return to the online realm be met with joy, may your community flourish, and may the allure of the Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents continue to inspire generations of collectors to come.

Order is the sanity of the mind…”

– Eliza Cook

Collecting cents can be complicated if you don’t keep your collection in order. Now, think about trying to sell them.

When one coin is worth $100 in one grade, and the exact same coin is worth $350 toned, and the exact same coin is worth $10,000 two grade points higher, you’ve got to have your coins in order.

Charmy Harker, The Penny Lady®, does that. Which is how she’s helped the most exciting collectors build some of the most beautiful sets of collectible coins the world has ever seen.

Like Eliza Cook said, “Order is the sanity of the mind.” Collecting coins in enough insanity without a little order to keep things clear!

Order: An Interfanatic Quality

You might think you know what it takes to build a website. But to do it successfully for businesses over and over and over – there are a lot of moving parts. The launch checklist is about 2,381 items long alone. Theorizing, designing and creating a successful website is a bit like conducting an orchestra. The minute one thing is out of tune, it can all come tumbling down.

“Theorizing, designing and creating a successful website is a bit like conducting an orchestra.”

Just like Charmy brings order to the chaos of collecting, Interfanatic brings order to the chaos of creating websites that bring in paying customers.

Charmy Harker, The Penny Lady®

Do you know any coin dealers? I know a lot of coin dealers. Some of them are great! (Yes, I’m talking about YOU.) Some of them are not. Which is what makes Charmy’s success in excellence as a coin dealer all the more convincing. She has to deal with other coin dealers. Who are mostly men. And some are not nice to deal with.

She has carved her niche doing what she loves. She’s really into Indian Cents. Most Indian Cents in the world are worth a few cents to a collector. But the ones Charmy deals in can be worth much, much, much more than that. These little metal disks tell a snapshot of history, of art, of their time, and of their place in history. And she loves them, too.

If you’re interested in collecting small cents, Charmy has an excellent selection. Take a moment to peruse The Penny Lady’s most recently added coins for sale. You’ll love them, too. She has something for everyone. (Talk about a great gift for the person who has everything.)

Charmy is good at infuriating people, too. She uses her website to show off her collections, which are not available for sale. Because they’re usually some of the best (which is what collectors want.) So, serious collectors can’t have them, and, well that really irks ’em.

Because not only is Charmy a successful dealer of pennies, she’s a successful collector of cents. She would never brag about her collection because she’s helped collectors assemble humbling collections. But the fact is, her collection is nice.

And on top of all of this, she’s just a nice person. She doesn’t suffer fools or intent hagglers because she doesn’t enjoy that. And its her business, so she gets to decide how she runs it.

Charmy Harker does a great job. And at the end of the day, she is after all The Penny Lady®.
