- 1858 Flying Eagle Cent. Large Letters, High Leaves Reverse (Style of 1857), Type I. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC. A thoroughly appealing example of this brief and conditionally challenging small cent design type. Fully struck with razor sharp detail from the rims to the centers, both sides also possess strong mint luster in a soft satin texture. A blend of golden-orange and pale rose patina blankets the surfaces and further enhances already strong eye appeal. Along with the 1857, the 1858 is the preferred type candidate in the short-lived Flying Eagle cent series of 1856 to 1858 as far as most collectors are concerned. Survivors are obtainable with ease in grades up to and including MS-64, but MS-65s are scarce and in higher grades the type as a whole is rare. The present Gem displays the leftover High Leaves reverse of 1857 which, when found on 1858-dated examples, is usually paired with the Large Letters obverse, as here. PCGS Population: 5; 37 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 2019. NGC ID: 2277. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
