1858/7 1C Strong MS64 认证号38505172, PCGS号2022

CAC and also an Eagle Eye Photo Seal. CAC Pop = 10. Snow PDS Grade = 14 (5,5,4). Rick Snow says: Labeled "Strong" by PCGS indicating that this is an Early Die State with a full 7 visible. This is an outstanding example with a great strike. The eagle's tail is as full as you'll ever see. The fields are slightly prooflike indicating that this is one of the first examples off the die. Very few example can claim to be much better than this piece.”

The 1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent is the only overdate in this short-lived series; hence, it garners a lot of attention.  The overdate is very subtle and can be overlooked easily, especially since the undertype begins to disappear on later die states.  Look for the right tip of a 7 on the right side of the top of the second 8.  Another identifier is a small, raised chip in the obverse field midway between the date and the eagle's underbelly.  Finally, look for a broken wingtip just below the F in OF.

The Condition Census (Top Ten) for the 1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent consists of five MS-65s and five MS-64s (according to the PCGS Population Report as of Novermber 2011).  Collectors recognize the 1858/7 Cent as a scarce variety, but the Population Report shows how rare it actually is.  Less than 6% of all the 1858 Flying Eagle Cents turned out to be the overdate.  Based on that comparison alone, the 1858/7 should be worth more than 16 times the value of a regular 1858 Cent!
