1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65
Luminous, Shimmering Surfaces

1857 1C MS65 NGC. The 1857 is the most often seen issue in the short-lived Flying Eagle cent series, if only slightly more plentiful than the 1858, but Gem and finer coins are nonetheless elusive. This piece displays satiny, bronze-gold luster and is devoid of mentionable abrasions. Some minor weakness on the eagle's tailfeathers and the corresponding portion of the wreath is not unusual for the issue, while the rest of the design elements are well brought up. NGC has seen 14 numerically finer representatives (12/14).(Registry values: N2998)
