1858 Flying Eagle Cent. Large Letters, High Leaves (Style of 1857), Type I. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. This is a bright, lustrous and satiny Gem with exceptional eye appeal even for the high Mint State grade assigned. Vivid reddish-apricot color overall, a splash of pale powder blue enlivens the lower right reverse border. Both sides are fully struck and impressively smooth in appearance. Survivors of this brief and historic small cent series are always in demand for type purposes, but relatively few have been well enough preserved to carry CAC approval at the MS-65 level. A beautiful and conditionally scarce coin worthy of the strongest bids. PCGS# 2019. NGC ID: 2277.
