1857. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck with even toning. A pleasant gem example swooning with copper-nickel frost, lightly variegated. One would be hard put to add more about the mint bloom which is all original. As for the strike, the coin was struck with technical exactness throughout, a difficult accomplishment since these are noted for weak strikes on the eagle's head and tail and consequent problems areas on the wreath opposite. The only minor weak area we can point to would be at T of united and the front part of the eagle's wing on this handsome Gem. Pop 204; 18 finer, 2 in 65+, 16 in 66. (PCGS # 2016) Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400 Categories: Flying Eagle Cents
