1855 Flying Eagle Cent in German Silver
Judd-171a, PR63

1855 P1C Cent, Judd-171a, Pollock-196, R.7, PR63 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The obverse depicts a large eagle flying left, along with 13 peripheral stars and the date below. The reverse design resembles the contemporary cent, except the wreath is smaller in scale. The diameter is slightly reduced from a large cent. Struck in German silver alloy with a plain edge. USPatterns.com cites a population of about a dozen known. This is a flashy silver and tan-gold representative with characteristically soft strike definition. Endorsed by CAC for quality within the grade, this Flying Eagle cent pattern would make a great addition to any set of copper coinage.
