1858 Flying Eagle Cent, MS66+
Large Letters, Terrific Eye Appeal
Eagle Eye Photo Seal, CAC Approval

1858 1C Large Letters MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. High Leaves Reverse. Closed E in ONE. The 1858 Flying Eagle cent (24.6 million coins) was struck with Large and Small Letters obverse types, with this Large Letters being the more available variant. The combined certification totals at PCGS and NGC show an average grade between AU50 and AU53, with coins still being accessible in grades as high as MS64 and MS65. However, Premium Gems are scarce. This MS66+ coin showcases glittering mint luster over clean, tan-gold surfaces. The eagle, wreath elements, and denomination exhibit full detail, while the upper obverse legends show evidence of modest die fatigue. Eye appeal is unsurpassable. Population: 50 in 66 (9 in 66+), 3 finer. CAC: 16 in 66, 1 finer (6/20).(Registry values: N4719)
