Description

1858 1C Large Letters MS66 NGC. High Leaves Reverse. Closed E in ONE. While near-Gem survivors of this final-year Flying Eagle cent are always available, Gems are another matter entirely. Coins that grade finer than MS65 are rarer still, with only five examples certified MS66 by NGC, and none finer (3/09). Delicate honey-gold color adorns both sides of this Premium Gem, each of which exudes shimmering luster. All design features are sharply detailed. A spindly die crack joins the eagle's tail to the lower right rim.
