Description

1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent, MS63
Popular Early Die State

1858/7 1C MS63 PCGS. FS-301, Snow-1. Large Letters, High Leaves, Closed E. Broken wing tip hub. A popular early die state that shows all the diagnostics of this rare overdate. These include the "chip" in the field above the first 8 that is actually the bottom of an errant 1, the top of the 7 above and to the right of the second 8, and the broken wing tip. These are scarce in all grades and especially so in mint condition. Only 23 pieces have been certified by PCGS with 29 finer (4/10). The fields show a slight wrinkled effect, undoubtedly from metal flow. Striking details are strong throughout, although not quite complete. Each side displays golden-tan patina with satiny underlying mint luster.(Registry values: N4719)
