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. On the reverse, the wreath remains bold and complete, with only light wear on the highest points. Struck in copper-nickel at the Philadelphia Mint, this cent combines historical significance with strong eye appeal, making it a must-have for collectors of classic U.S. coins.
