Description
Fully Struck 1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS65
1857 1C MS65 PCGS. Many 1857 Flying Eagle cents show profound softness of strike on the wreath and the eagle's tail feathers. This is undoubtedly from the Mint's unfamiliarity working with the hard nickel alloy and not knowing how much pressure to apply to planchets without breaking the dies. The same problem had to be faced in 1866 when an even higher content nickel alloy was used in the new five cent piece. This Flying Eagle cent shows fullness of strike on each side. The surfaces are tan-gray in color and the reverse especially is bright.From The Good Harbour Bay Collection.(Registry values: N2998)
