Lot 1042
1857 Flying Eagle Cent. NGC graded MS-65. Snow-14. Double die obverse. This is an extremely well struck example of this date. The obverse shows no design weakness at all. The reverse wreath shows only a slight lack of detail on the upper right quadrant. The surfaces are highly lustrous with an attractive gold and rose colored toning. The doubled die feature is rather minor, but visible on the Eagle's eye and most of the letters of the legend. A rough area of the die by "ED S" in the legend is a pick-up point for this variety.
Estimated Value $2,750 - 3,000.
