Description

Sharply Struck 1857 Gem Cent

1857 1C MS65 NGC. Sharper struck than many 1857 Flying Eagle Cents, the surfaces show bright golden-honey centers that are surrounded by deeper rose-tan coloration at the margins. The only noticeable flaw is a light carbon spot at 3 o'clock on the obverse rim. This short-lived type coin is always of interest to type collectors.(Registry values: N2998)
