1858 Flying Eagle Cent. Small Letters, High Leaves (Style of 1857), Type I. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.
Tan-gold surfaces gleam with a strong luster under a dusting of deeper, wood-grain textured toning, especially seen on the obverse. A forceful blow from the dies crisply rendered the eagle's feathers and the leaf details on the wreath. We note some minor planchet issues, as made, and they do not detract. A very Choice example for type or date purposes.
