- 1858 Pattern Flying Eagle Cent. Judd-206, Pollock-242, Snow-PT16a. Rarity-5. Copper-Nickel. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. Obv:A small eagle flies left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the date 1858 below. Popularly referred to as the "Skinny Eagle," this design is attributed to Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet. Rev:The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Flying Eagle cents. Highly reflective fields support smartly impressed devices on both sides of this predominantly pinkish-apricot specimen. Wisps of reddish-rose iridescence flash into view as the coin rotates under a light, adding further visual appeal. Scarce in an absolute sense, the mintage of this popular pattern Flying Eagle cent type is estimated at just 75 pieces (per Rick Snow, 2014). Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from Mid-American Rare Coin Auctions, Inc.'s F.U.N. Sale of January 1988, lot 1644. PCGS Population: 25; 6 finer in this category (Proof-65 finest). PCGS# 11877. NGC ID: 29BM.
