Description

1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65
Scarce Any Finer

1857 1C MS65 NGC. A delicate melange of orange and chestnut enlivens the subtly lustrous surfaces of this attractive first-year small cent. Impressively detailed, with none of the usual weakness at the talon or lower wreath. A carefully preserved piece that would make an excellent type coin. NGC has graded just 14 finer pieces (4/14).
