Delightful 1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent, MS64

1858/7 1C MS64 PCGS. FS-301, formerly FS-006. Snow-1. A delightful coin that has ample mint color and appeal. The surfaces are very clean for the Choice grade, with no dark carbon spots on either side. The diagnostic broken wing feather and lump in the field above the first 8 confirm that this is the correct obverse die for the overdate, and this is a fairly early die state with the top of the 7 quite clear above the final 8 in the date. Identifiable by a small planchet chip touching the dentils above ES of STATES and a lighter gray area above NIT on the rim. The reverse has a tiny nick above the top of the right ribbon bow in the center field, and a minute planchet lamination located about 4 o'clock on the dentils. No significant weak areas in the strike, and this example is a well struck as these are ever found. For the specialist, this is a very rare coin to obtain in Choice condition, and is virtually unobtainable finer. Population: 24 in 64, 5 finer (2/09).
