1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65
Scarce in High Grades

1857 1C MS65 NGC. Although often available in Select or near-Gem condition, this issue is scarce in full Gem Mint State and rare any finer. A bold strike complements attractive, khaki-gold surfaces of this Gem example. A pleasing, lustrous glow reveals excellent feather detail on the eagle. The wreath is well-brought up except at the lower left, where some striking weakness is seen on the high-point leaves. Just 28 pieces are certified in a higher numeric grade by PCGS and NGC combined (3/14).(Registry values: N2998)
