1858/7 1C MS65 PCGS. Snow-1. Die Stage B. A rare Gem quality representative of this popular overdate Flying Eagle Cent, this coin exhibits a strike from a much later state of the dies. The wingtip is clearly detached, the corner of the 7 underdigit is all that remains, and the base of the errant 1 in the obverse field, while still perceptible under a loupe, is faint.

This is an aesthetically pleasing example with dominant honey-gold color over which splashes of pale reddish patina have gathered, mostly on the obverse. Both sides are equally free of bothersome carbon and there are no mentionable marks or impairments. The strike is a little uneven, but most major features are well defined. A tiny planchet indention is noted above the E of ONE, this being mentioned only for pedigree purposes. An important opportunity for the Small Cent specialist.

1858/7 1C MS64 PCGS. FS-006, Snow-1. A delightful coin that has ample mint color and appeal. The surfaces are very clean for the Choice grade, with no dark carbon spots on either side. The diagnostic broken wing feather and lump in the field above the first 8 confirm that this is the correct obverse die for the overdate, and this is a fairly early die state with the top of the 7 quite clear above the final 8 in the date. Identifiable by a small planchet chip touching the dentils above ES of STATES and a lighter gray area above NIT on the rim. On the reverse we note a tiny nick above the top of the right ribbon bow in the center field, and a minute planchet lamination located about 4 o'clock on the dentils. No significant weak areas in the strike, and this example is a well struck as these are ever found. For the specialist, this is a very rare coin to obtain in Choice condition, and is virtually unobtainable finer. The combined NGC and PCGS Population Reports show 8 coins graded higher of this issue. Population: 25 in 64, 4 finer (10/05). (PCGS# 2022)

Auction 324 | Lot 5187 » Small Cents » Flying Eagle Cents

1858/7 1C MS65 PCGS. Snow-1. This is an earlier die state with all three diagnostics clearly evident: the top of the 7 is plain above the second 8, the top of the errant 1 is obvious in the field between the first 8 and the eagle's belly, and the broken wing tip is visible even without a magnifier. The fact that this piece is an earlier die state is significant, as later die states are worth considerably less. It is also significant that this coin is preserved in such a high grade. Snow understates the case for Gems when he says, "These are very difficult to find in true MS65 grades or higher." The fact is, both grading services combined have only certified eight Gems and none are finer (4/03), and one has to wonder how many of these are resubmissions.

This is a highly lustrous and problem-free Gem example of this rare overdate. Well, but not completely struck, the eagle's tail feathers shows just the slightest softness as does the wreath on the reverse. The obverse has more of the original pearl-gray color that copper-nickel Cents had when new, while the obverse displays just the slightest overlay of reddish patina. An outstanding overdate Flying Eagle Cent and one of the finest pieces in existence. (PCGS# 2022)

1858/7 1C MS64 PCGS. Snow-1. Die State A. It is truly the sign of an important sale when we can offer not one, but three 1858/7 Flying Eagle Cents that grade MS64 or finer. The first example to sell, this is also the only PCGS-certified coin in this sale. The surfaces are mostly tan-pink in sheen, although the peripheries are overlaid in richer reddish-pink color. There are no blemishes that are worthy of individual attention, and the razor sharp definition includes crisp detail on both the underdigit and the misplaced date in the field below the eagle. PCGS has seen just 16 coins in MS64, with a mere three finer (3/02).

1858/7 1C MS65 NGC. Snow-1. Die Stage A. This is one of the earliest die states of this desirable and conditionally rare overdate that we have ever handled. The topmost feather on the eagle's wing is barely disconnected, and strong remnants of the 7 underdigit are evident at the top right corner of the final 8 in the date. The left base of the errant 1 is also sharp and readily evident in the obverse field above the first 8 in the date. Both sides display variegated coloration in honey-gold, tan, and medium brown shades. There is a well concealed spot in the center of the obverse, and the reverse field is peppered with small planchet voids (as struck). The early die state of this coin alone would more than justify a premium quality bid. NGC and PCGS combined have seen just seven 1858/7 Cents in MS65, and there are none finer (3/02).

1858/7 1C MS64 PCGS. Snow-1. Very well struck save for the obligatory softness on the eagle's tailfeathers, the letters above, and the corresponding area of the wreath on the reverse. Rich, pleasing honey-tan coloration is seen over both sides. We mention a small carbon below the bow, not as a particular distraction but as a pedigree marker. This is an earlier die state with all three diagnostics clearly evident: the top of the 7 is plain above the second 8, the top of the errant 1 is obvious in the field between the first 8 and the eagle's belly, and the broken wing tip is visible even without a magnifier.

1858/7 1C MS64 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Snow-1. Die Stage A. This is one of the finest examples of this very popular 19th century overdate. One must look carefully to find any imperfections on the evenly toned, light brown surfaces. Even the strike is impressive with the overall definition as full as is typically seen for the variety. There is, nonetheless, slight weakness over the upper right quadrant of the reverse, but Snow states that this is characteristic of the variety. Only very rarely is an 1858/7 Cent seen with any more detail in this area than that seen on this particular coin. The striking softness associated with the 1858/7 has resulted in considerable resistance on the part of the grading services to certify any examples higher than MS64. Since NGC and PCGS have recently come to understand the peculiar striking characteristics of this variety, a few examples have received an MS65 designation. Indeed, the present representative has the look of a higher grade.

A very early die state, remnants of the 7 underdigit show clearly above and to the right of the final 8 in the date. The diagnostic die dot above the date, which is actually the left base of a misplaced 1, is bold and triangular in shape. In addition, the broken wing tip is just about connected to the wing. There are also light die striations (as produced) visible diagonally from the lower left to the upper right of the coin, and additional die file marks are visible under the date. These features are only visible on the earliest die states.

The die state of a particular 1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent is very important because nearly 75% of all examples produced are late die states with no evidence of the 7 showing. Richard Snow states that collectors who desire top quality examples of this date demand to see the 7! Clearly, the present lot represents an important opportunity for the advanced Cent collector to acquire one of the finest examples of this popular and rare overdate.

1858/7 1C MS64 PCGS. A very pleasing near-Gem example of this rare and popular overdate. This is an early die state that shows the diagnostic broken wing tip, die dot over the date, and sharp underdigit. Fully struck, the strike is so strong that the eagle's wing tip has a three-dimensional appearance. The surfaces are bright and lustrous with pale rose and golden color. There is a streak of darker color along the right side of the obverse that appears to be grease that was struck into the planchet at the time of manufacture. This is the finest overdate we can remember seeing recently. Population: 16 in 64, 3 finer (5/02).

1858/7 1C MS64 NGC. FS-006, Snow-1. An earlier die state, on this coin the top right of the 7 still shows after the die was polished. Also, the diagnostic die chip is present in the exergual area above the first 8. The broken wing tip is also obvious, but this is not a reliable diagnostic as non-overdate Large Letter coins have also been located with this feature. This important overdate was only discovered 25 or so years ago, and it has proved to be a challenging item both in the absolute sense as well as conditionally. Only 35 pieces have been certified in MS64 by NGC with five finer (1/06). This low availability makes the 1858/7 the key to this short and highly collectible series. A bit softly struck, as often seen on 1857 cents, the surfaces are bright with pronounced red and honey-gold coloration. In the center of the reverse there is a curious area of shallow planchet flaking. The only design element it affects is the left leaf by the C in CENT; otherwise, it just seems to give the field a matte-like appearance. Two small spots are noted: one to the right of the F in OF and above the broken wingtip, and the other near the obverse rim and below the eagle's claw. (PCGS# 2022)

1858/7 1C MS 64 PCGS. This is a late die state, and the underdigit is no longer visible. Since the eagle's right (facing) wing tip is weakly detailed and detached from the rest of the wing, there is no doubt that this coin is an example of the scarce 1858/7 (Snow-1) variety. Variegated shades of lilac, tan, and honey-gold color dance across both sides of this original near-Gem. Most features are sharply defined, and a few carbon flecks on the obverse are all that separates this smooth example from an even higher grade. (PCGS# 2022)
