Description
Copper-Nickel 1855 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern
Judd-170a, PR62
1855 1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-170a, Pollock-196, R.8, PR62
PCGS. CAC. Thirteen stars surround an eagle that is flying
slightly upward, similar to the Christian Gobrecht/Titian Peale
flying eagle design for the Gobrecht dollars (and soon the Flying
Eagle cents). The reverse design is similar to the issued large
cent. The diameter is intermediate between the large cents struck
for commerce in 1855 and the small cents that were first produced
in 1856. Struck with a plain edge in an alloy of 91% copper and
8.8% nickel, per the PCGS insert. Weight 99.15 grains. The 8.8%
nickel alloy undoubtedly accounts for the brightness seen on this
piece, a design that is seldom found with any trace of red. The
striking details are strong throughout, and light die clashing is
seen in the fields, as often found.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 62428, GSID# 213528)
