Description
1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS66
Rarely Offered So Fine
1857 1C MS66 PCGS. The 1857 Flying Eagle cent claims a
substantial mintage of 17.4 million pieces and many examples were
saved by contemporary collectors for their novelty value. The coins
virtually vanished from circulation during the Civil War, due to
widespread hoarding, but they were seen again after the war, and
many were redeemed at the Mint in the 1870s. By the 1880s they were
seldom seen in everyday transactions. The issue can be found in
lower Mint State grades today without difficulty, but it is rare at
the MS66 level.This delightful Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved copper-red surfaces with no trace of carbon. Vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides and eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 21 in 66, 0 finer (3/19).(Registry values: N4719)
