Description

1857 Flying Eagle Cent, MS66
Rich Color, Booming Luster

1857 1C MS66 PCGS. A short-lived type coin, the Flying Eagle cent is plentiful in most grades but becomes rare at the MS66 level. This high-grade representative is well struck save for the leaf at 2 o'clock on the reverse. The primarily golden-brown surfaces abound with luster and exhibit iridescent hints of sea-green, orange-gold, and rose-red patina. Both carbon and contact are trivial, even by the requirements of the lofty grade. Population: 27 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (2/21).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2276, PCGS# 2016, GSID# 15313)

Metal: 88% Copper, 12% Nickel
