1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65
Sharply Struck, Great for Type

1857 1C MS65 NGC. This is a lovely Flying Eagle cent that would make an excellent type coin. The strike is strong on each side, with none of the often-seen weakness on the eagle's tailfeathers or reverse wreath. The underlying luster is bright and sparkling and both sides have taken on a significant overlay of rich red patina.(Registry values: N2998)
