Lot Description

1858 Pattern Flying Eagle Cent. Judd-206, Pollock-242, Snow-PT16a. Rarity-5. Copper-Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. Obv:A small eagle flies left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the date 1858 below. Popularly referred to as the "Skinny Eagle," this design is attributed to Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet. Rev:The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Flying Eagle cents. A beautiful tan-orange Gem with glassy fields, razor sharp devices and an overall pristine appearance. Scarce in an absolute sense, and rare as a Gem, the original mintage of Judd-206 is estimated at just 75 pieces (per Rick Snow, 2014). PCGS Population: 8; none finer within the designation.
