Description
1858 Flying Eagle Cent, MS66
Small Letters
1858 1C Small Letters MS66 PCGS. The Flying Eagle cent was
one of the shorter types in the entire history of U.S. coinage. The
design was issued for three years from 1856 to 1858. However,
varieties abound, such as this Small Letters coin of 1858. This
example features impressive golden-tan luster on satiny surfaces
with a hint of pale orange on the reverse. All of the obverse
details are bold, with only slight weakness in the wreath on the
reverse. A few trivial surface marks and scattered flyspecks are
evident, but they are inconsequential. This piece is tied with
eight others at PCGS for the finest certified. Similarly, NGC has
examined 15 submissions at this grade level with none finer
(3/14).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2279, PCGS# 2020, Greysheet# 15316)
