Description
This 1858 Flying Eagle Cent is a standout example of early American small-cent coinage, showcasing one of the most striking designs of the 19th century. The obverse features a finely rendered eagle in mid-flight, with crisp feather and eye detail characteristic of the Extremely Fine grade.
