Lot 1176
1858 Flying Eagle Cent. Large letters. PCGS graded MS-65. This is obviously a very high end coin for the grade, the obverse is simply stunning with blazing luster and near perfect surfaces. Similar on the reverse, with just the lightest haze and scattered specks to note the passage of time. Rare even in the grade assigned, making this coin a true opportunity for the date specialist. Boldly struck on all but a small area inside the eagle's left wing and unimprovable quality for the issue.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
From the Howard R. Newcomb collection of Indian Cents, purchased June 30, 1944 from J.G. Macallister.
