Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1857 Flying Eagle Cent. Flying Eagle. Type of 1857. Snow-8, FS-901. Reverse Die Clashed with Liberty Seated Quarter Die. MS-63 (PCGS). Attractive rose-gray adorns light tannish-apricot surfaces on the obverse, while the reverse exhibits a more even blend of pale 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). PCGS Population (Snow-8, FS-901 attribution only): 5; 4 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 37377. NGC ID: 2276. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
