Description
1855 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern
Popular Judd-168, PR64 Brown
1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168, Pollock-193, R.4, PR64
Brown NGC. 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 falls between large cents and the adopted small
cents. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. As stated on the
USPatterns website, "... extremely rare showing any red color."
This piece shows even brown patina over each side, but just beneath
the brown one can see the original fire of the red mint luster. The
strike is a bit soft over the high points, undoubtedly from the
hardness of the copper planchet. A few small specks are all that
keep this from an even higher grade.From The Bob Simpson Collection.
