Description
Experimental Alloy 1855 Flying Eagle Cent
Judd-170a, PR64
1855 1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-170a, R.8, PR64 PCGS. 113.6
grains. Thirteen stars surround an eagle that flies slightly
upward, similar to the Christian Gobrecht/Titian Peale flying eagle
design for the Gobrecht dollars but with a longer, curved neck to
the eagle. The date 1855 is below with slanted 5s, and the reverse
is similar to the large cent. The planchet is slightly smaller than
the large cent, but larger than the famous 1856 Flying Eagle cent.
Struck with a plain edge in an alloy of 86% copper, 14% nickel, per
the PCGS insert. Orange borders frame olive-gray centers. Well
preserved and typically struck with a minor retained obverse
lamination at 1 o'clock. Struck from boldly clashed dies.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 62428, GSID# 213528)
