1857 Gem Flying Eagle Cent
Bright Honey-Tan Color

1857 1C MS65 PCGS. CAC. We anticipate significant competition for this piece among Gem quality type collectors. Both sides are richly frosted with warm, honey-tan coloration. Blushes of lilac iridescence are noted at certain angles, as is a well concealed toning spot over the eagle's tail. The strike is strong throughout, unlike many examples that have weak tailfeathers and weak wreath details.
