Gem 1857 Flying Eagle Cent
Lustrous Almond-Tan Surfaces

1857 1C MS65 PCGS. This lustrous Gem is almond-tan with a fine sprinkling of darker brown flecks, not carbon, that are perceptible only under a loupe. The eye appeal is excellent, although the strike is somewhat weak around the peripheries. PCGS has certified only 14 submissions finer, a surprisingly low number (7/12).(Registry values: N2998)
