1858 Flying Eagle Cent, PR64
Large Letters Variety

1858 1C Large Letters PR64 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, no card. Richard Snow estimates the mintage of proof Large Letters 1858 Flying Eagle cents at a minuscule 100 pieces, originally sold in both proof and pattern sets for the year. As expected from the tiny production total, proofs in Choice condition are quite rare today. The Large Letters proof obverse is paired only with the high-relief High Leaves reverse. The present coin is a splendid Choice example, with reflective fields and light golden-tan and lavender highlights. The devices are strongly impressed and only a few minor imperfections can be detected in the fields. Population: 18 in 64, 15 finer (8/10).
