Lot Description

1857 Flying Eagle Cent. Snow-3, FS-105 (FS-002). Doubled Die Obverse. MS-64 (PCGS). Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Dominant sandy-tan patina to both sides, a blush of warmer medium-rose tinting is also evident over the right-central reverse. A bit lightly struck here and there, but not to the point where a loupe will not allow ready appreciation of doubling to select peripheral devices on the obverse.
