Description
Dazzling MS66 Small Letters 1858 Cent
1858 1C Small Letters MS66 NGC. Low Leaves, Closed E. A magnificent Premium Gem type coin that possesses satin luster and lovely apricot, powder-blue, and chestnut toning. The strike is exacting, even on the cotton leaves and the eagle's tail and breast. No abrasions are detected, although a solitary small planchet flake (as made) overlaps the O in ONE. Interesting rim breaks are present between 2:30 and 5 o'clock. The final year of the Flying Eagle design, purportedly replaced because it was difficult for the Mint to achieve a full strike. Census: 14 in 66, 0 finer (4/08).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2279, PCGS# 2020, GSID# 15316)
