1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS66
None Finer at Both Services

1857 1C MS66 NGC. This is an appealing Premium Gem with needle-sharp definition, notably on the eagle's head and tail and the lower wreath. Honey-tan coloration covers both sides, while orange and sky-blue accents are noted primarily on the obverse. Radiant mint luster occurs throughout. Flying Eagle cents are a perennial favorite among collectors, combining both beauty of design with the desirability of a short-lived type. Census: 15 in 66, 0 finer (2/15).
