1858 Pattern Flying Eagle Cent. Judd-193, Pollock-236. Rarity-5. Copper-Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. Obv: regular-issue Small Letters die of the year. Rev: oak and laurel wreath with ornamental shield at top. This boldly struck Proof Flying Eagle cent exhibits rich golden-tan surfaces with some satiny reflectivity in the fields. Splashes of rich sky-blue and pale rose iridescence come to life in a bold light source. It will prove difficult to top the present coin where eye appeal and aesthetic charm are concerned. According to the uspatterns.comwebsite, this was part of a 12-piece set sold at the Mint to collectors; the sets included 11 different patterns as well as a Proof of the regular-issue Flying Eagle cent of the date. Choice at many levels, and definitely a Gem Proof pattern worth pursuing. PCGS# 11844.
