1857 Flying Eagle Cent (1c)

Colorful toning sets this 1857 Flying Eagle apart - warm russet and rose-copper surfaces with violet and magenta iridescence that comes alive under a light. The strike is bold, with sharp feather detail on the eagle and crisp definition throughout the wreath. Fields are pleasingly clean for the 64, and the overall look is fresh and undisturbed. Housed in an older NGC holder, this example delivers serious eye appeal.
