Description

1858 Flying Eagle Cent, MS66+
Large Letters Type Coin

1858 1C Large Letters MS66+ PCGS. Satiny orange-gold mint luster appears unblemished on this remarkably high-grade Large Letters type coin. There is no carbon spotting, and the only interruption in the smoothness of the fields is a thing die crack that arcs through the eagle's tailfeathers. The strike is sharp, with particular note given to the tailfeathers and the wreath, including the bowknot.

The 1858 Large Letters Flying Eagle cent is a trifle more plentiful than the Small Letters variant, especially in high grade. Nonetheless, this issue is scarce in MS66 and prohibitively rare finer. With the Plus designation, the present coin will appeal to a wide range of collectors. Population: 49 in 66 (8 in 66+), 3 finer (3/20).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 272V, PCGS# 2019, Greysheet# 15315)
