Heritage Auctions Description (April, 2020): 1858 1C Large Letters MS66+ PCGS. Satiny orange-gold mint luster appears unblemished on this remarkably high-grade Large Letters type coin. There is no carbon spotting, and the only interruption in the smoothness of the fields is a thing die crack that arcs through the eagle's tailfeathers. The strike is sharp, with particular note given to the tailfeathers and the wreath, including the bowknot. The 1858 Large Letters Flying Eagle cent is a trifle more plentiful than the Small Letters variant, especially in high grade. Nonetheless, this issue is scarce in MS66 and prohibitively rare finer. With the Plus designation, the present coin will appeal to a wide range of collectors. Population: 49 in 66 (8 in 66+), 3 finer (3/20).(Registry values: N4719)
Rick Snow's Description (June 2020): Full strike. One of the finest known examples. As a one-year type coin, it is a highly important coin. Only 7 examples graded with none higher. Priced well below the record high for this grade ($34,500 HA 2/12). It is a great deal at this price. Ex: Jasper Mantooth Collection. Eagle Eye/CAC;
Stacks Bowsers Auction Listing (June 2020): The Sole Finest 1862 Cent MS-68 (PCGS) None Finer For Any Date 1862 Indian Cent. MS-68 (PCGS). Here is a magnificent 1862 Indian cent, from the copper-nickel, Oak Wreath series of 1861 through 1864. The surfaces are essentially flawless, with subtle prooflike reflectivity in the fields and undisturbed frosty texture across the devices. A thin die crack is noted at the tip of Liberty's bust and through the left reverse wreath, but the devices remain nicely defined for the issue. The attractive surfaces are golden-tan with subtle accents of deeper bronze patina throughout. A small area of dark toning on Liberty's hair ribbon will help in tracing this superior piece through future cabinets. With 28,075 pieces struck, the 1862 has the second highest mintage of this short series. Examples of the 1862 are readily available in most Mint State grades up through MS-65, but they become exponentially more elusive approaching Superb Gem condition. In Ultra Gem MS-68 condition, the present piece is an incredible rarity. In fact, this is the sole finest 1862 cent graded by PCGS or NGC, and is tied with the very finest known across the entire Indian cent series. It is an ideal candidate for a high-end PCGS Registry Set of Indian cents or 19th century type coins. It simply cannot be improved upon.
Stack’s Bowers description (8/22): A phenomenal coin that is not only tied for CC#1 for the circulation strike 1902, but it also one of the finest Indian cents of all types and issues certified by PCGS. It is a virtually pristine coin with a smooth, frosty texture that is devoid of even the most trivial blemishes. Fully original mint color is generally medium rose with blushes of pale red evident as the coin rotates under a light. Striking detail is impressively sharp and the eye appeal is nothing short of outstanding. Simply put it would be difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a more delectable example of the 1902 Indian cent.
