Description
1857 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
Estimated Mintage: 50 Pieces
1857 1C PR65 PCGS. CAC. The mintage of proof 1857 Flying
Eagle cents has traditionally been estimated at 485 pieces, but
Richard Snow believes the true production total was approximately
50 examples, making this date one of the most challenging of the
series. Proofs in Gem condition are very rare today, and only one
coin has been certified in higher numeric grade by either of the
leading grading services (8/10). The present coin is a stunning
Gem, with reflective red surfaces, accented by wisps of lavender.
The extraordinary strike imparts fine detail to all design
elements, and the fields show only the most inconsequential flaws
without a loupe.From The Westmoreland County Collection, Part Three.(Registry values: N7079)
