Attractive 1858 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern, Judd-202, PR63

1858 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-202, Pollock-245, R.5, PR63 PCGS. The hook-necked eagle obverse, generally attributed to Longacre, was paired with several reverses during the year, here with ONE CENT in a simple laurel wreath. This variety shows five leaf clusters in the reverse wreath, identifying it as Pollock-245, while the rarer six-leaf clusters mark the Pollock-246 variant. The small eagle obverse has open claws and raised wings. The tall, thin obverse letters represent Paquet's style. This reverse is similar to the regular issue 1859 Indian cent. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Areas of deep red are intermixed on each side with original gray-lilac patches. Fully struck with few surface flaws.
