Description

1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65
Lustrous Type Coin

1857 1C MS65 NGC. This decisively struck Gem displays sweeping satin luster throughout the lovely pale orange-gold surfaces. Both contact and carbon are virtually absent, and the eye appeal is outstanding. Flying Eagle cents were struck for circulation only in 1857 and 1858. Although circulated pieces are commonplace, high-end Mint State coins remain elusive.
Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 209; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2009), lot 266.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2276, PCGS# 2016, Greysheet# 15313)

Weight: 4.70 grams

Metal: 88% Copper, 12% Nickel
