Lot Description

Thoroughly PQ at the assigned grade level, in terms of overall quality and eye appeal this delectable piece even exceeds many certified MS-65s for the type that your cataloger (JLA) has handled over the years. Bright pinkish-tan surfaces with wisps of pale champagne-apricot, both sides also deliver intense mint luster in a frosty to modestly semi-reflective finish. Full struck with razor sharp definition throughout, not even trivial blemishes are seen. This is a beautiful Flying Eagle cent, worthy of the strongest bids. The Generation 3.0 PCGS insert uses coin #2019, which is now reserved for the Large Letters <em>Guide Book</em> variety of this issue.
