1857 Flying Eagle Cent, Snow-9, MS65
Obverse Clashed With Seated Half, FS-402

1857 1C Obverse Die Clash With Seated Half, Snow-9, FS-402, MS65 PCGS. The 1857 Flying Eagle cents are known clashed with the double eagle obverse (Snow-7), the Seated quarter reverse (Snow-8), and the Seated half dollar obverse (Snow-9) as on this piece, the only one of the three that appears with some regularity. This Gem is nonetheless a conditional rarity, among only five submissions at PCGS in this top grade level. The medium-brown surfaces are highly lustrous and boldly struck, a level of detail that brings out the interesting clash marks in sharp relief. A great-looking coin and a fascinating example of this numismatic blunder. Population: 5 in 65 (1 in 65+), 0 finer (11/15).
From The Tom & Jean Fore Collection.
