Lot 1518
1857 Flying Eagle Cent. PCGS graded MS-65. Light tone in color. Old green label holder. A fresh and satiny gem with nice luster and a nuance of champagne to brown toning, especially on the obverse. Nicely struck with nearly full details on both sides, the eagle showing full feathers in the wings and body as well as the tail (the latter area is sometimes flatly struck on 1857 cents). Absolutely gem quality. Pop 168; 15 better by a point. (PCGS # 2016) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,750.
