Description
Rare Gem Proof Large Letters
1858 Flying Eagle Cent
1858 1C Large Letters PR65 NGC. Snow-PR1. High Leaves,
Closed E in ONE. In his 2001 attribution guide to the series, Rick
Snow estimates that about 50 Large Letters proofs have survived
from an initial production of 100 pieces. No doubt exists that the
present Gem is a proof, since the strike is absolute, even on the
extremities of the eagle and the veins of the cotton leaves. The
fields offer dazzling reflectivity, and the absence of any
abrasions further confirms numismatic instead of commercial
origins. A few microscopic flecks emerge beneath a powerful loupe,
but the eye appeal remains remarkable. Census: 11 in 65, 8 finer
(5/11).From The Mile High City Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227C, PCGS# 2042, Greysheet# 15317)
