Description

Clashed Die 1857 Cent, MS66

1857 1C MS66 NGC. FS-402, formerly FS-003. Snow-9. Clashmarks from the Seated Liberty obverse die appear in several locations on the obverse of this sharply struck Flying Eagle cent. Clashing can be seen in the field below STATES, between the eagles beak and wing, and through AMERICA. This is one of the finest examples of this fascinating variety that we have seen or handled, and it is worthy of strong consideration by the specialist. While PCGS does not recognize this important variety, a total of 49 pieces have been certified by NGC, including this coin and one other submission at the MS66 grade level, and none finer (2/09).
