1858/7 Large Letters Flying Eagle Cent
Snow-1, MS64

1858/7 1C Large Letters, Snow-1, FS-301, MS64 NGC. Rick Snow writes of FS-301, "This is typically collected as part of the basic set and is in tremendous collector demand. Examples from die stages A & B are eagerly sought by collectors." This piece represents Die State B, with lapping evident on the obverse. The flag of the 7 is visible as a small dash at the upper-right corner of the final 8, and the die dot in the field above the date is clear. Luster yields satiny luminance across each side beneath olive-tan toning. Elements of vivid golden-orange color appear in the most protected portions of each side. The eagle's tailfeathers and the upper-right portion of the wreath show the usual strike softness, but eye appeal is pleasing for the grade.
