Losbeschreibung

1857 Flying Eagle Cent. Snow-8, FS-901. Reverse Die Clashed with Liberty Seated Quarter. MS-62 (NGC). Attractive rose-gray adorns light tannish-apricot surfaces on the obverse, while the reverse exhibits a more even blend of olive-gray and sandy-apricot. This is a boldly struck example with a very nice appearance for the assigned grade. It is a desirable representative of this intriguing variety, one of four multi-denominational clashed dies from 1857 that Q. David Bowers describes as, "....among the most interesting, most spectacular [varieties] in all of the American coinage series" (Enthusiast's Guide to Flying Eagle and Indian Cents, 1996). Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. PCGS# 37377. NGC ID: 2276. Click here for certification details from NGC.
