Lot Description

1857 Flying Eagle Cent. Snow-2e, FS-401b. Type of 1856. MS-64+ (PCGS). Vividly toned in a blend of tan-apricot, pale pink and powder blue, this delightful near-Gem also sports sharp striking detail and intense mint luster. A popular and eagerly sought hub variety of the 1857 Flying Eagle cent, the FS-401b features the same style of lettering on the obverse as the key date 1856. The most readily identifiable diagnostic of this attribution is the square-sharped center to the letter O in OF. PCGS# 410434. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
