Description

PR65 Red and Brown Judd-168 Original
1855 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern

1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. 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 in bronze with a plain edge. This lovely Gem has prominently mirrored fields and a meticulous strike. The rose-gold and lime surfaces are unabraded and carbon-free. The dies are boldly clashed, as usually seen for Judd-168. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.
From the Estate of Robert R. Rollins Collection, Part Three.
