Description
1858 Small Letters Cent, MS66
Unseen in Higher Grades
1858 1C Small Letters MS66 PCGS. Low Leaves Reverse, Close E
in ONE. The Large and Small Letters variants were produced to about
the same extent, 12.3 million coins per variety for a total mintage
of 24.6 million Flying Eagle cents in 1858. Small Letters examples
prove to be slightly scarcer through MS64, but they become markedly
more challenging in Gem condition, where the certified population
declines dramatically. PCGS reports 11 submissions in this
impressive grade (one in MS66+) with none finer (11/15).Pumpkin-gold color and glowing luster provide this magnificent Premium Gem cent with readily appreciable eye appeal. A nearly full strike characterizes the devices on each side, while a singular notchlike mark occurs over the upper part of the O in ONE. A small cud forms on the lower reverse rim near the right ribbon end.
