Lot 1169
1857 Flying Eagle Cent. PCGS graded MS-63. Nice for the grade, this one boasts mint fresh luster and excellent surfaces. Sharply struck, even on the eagle's breast, and a few minor die breaks are seen along the rims. The Philadelphia Mint had trouble with these hard planchets, which were alloyed with nickel, these caused rapid die wear and breakage.
Estimated Value $375 - 425.
