Description
1857 Flying Eagle Cent, Sharp MS65
1857 1C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Hub Type of 1857. In an effort to replace the old large cents as quickly as possible, the 1857 Flying Eagle cents were coined in substantial quantity for the period (more than 17 million pieces). The nickel alloy, however, proved difficult to strike up fully, and many of the Mint State survivors exhibit weakness on the eagle's head and tailfeathers. This Gem representative exhibits above-average definition overall, with satiny mint luster shining through soft golden-tan patina. PCGS has certified 26 numerically finer examples (11/20).Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2014), lot 3049.(Registry values: N2998)
