1857 Flying Eagle Cent, PCGS AU-58, Popular Early Type Coin
$629.00
This date comes in a wide variety of planchet colors, due to the novelty of the Copper-Nickel alloy used. Pure Nickel is extremely hard and difficult to melt, leading to alloy mixing issues. This coin is on the slightly lighter side with a touch of what would become known as "woodgrain" toning when the Lincoln Cent series came along. Original and problem free, always a popular Type coin - getting difficult to locate specimens that will certify in any AU grades.
