1857 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Deep, vintage burnt-sienna patina drifts across unexpectedly lustrous surfaces, and offers much the look of a red-brown bronze cent. The appearance pretty much looks choice, making MS-62 seem like a... |

1857 PCGS MS-64.

FMG Set. Remarkably bright and blazing with full luster, this cent has scarcely changed since the day it dropped off of pre-Civil War dies. Both sides display exquisite definition for the grade,... |

Twenty Flying Eagle cents.
|
|
New World Estate. These appear to be generally problem-free examples, albeit with signs of minor corrosion or just plain grungy dirt seen here and there. The best pieces seem to grade VF, but at... |

Nine Flying Eagle cents, as described.
|
|
Individual grades are not offered, so suffice it to say that these should fall safely within Fine to XF. 1857 varieties include a Snow-2 "type of '56", a Snow-4 DDO, and a Snow-10. Six 1858... |

Nine Flying Eagle cent varieties.

1857 MS-63 details/questionable color.

Perhaps modestly wiped at some point, the fields reveal wispy hairlines under close scrutiny, though their effect is mitigated by the presence of rather attractive sky-blue and rose-magenta toning. ... |

1857 AU, 1858 small letters VF, and an 1859 Indian-head cent BU.
|
|
Much nicer quality is apparent with this trio of early small cents. A case could be made that the 1857 is an UNC coin since there is no actual wear apparent, but a number of small contact marks imply... |

1857 MS-62.

Fifty Flying Eagle cents.

1857 Obv. Die Clash with 50C, FS-402, Snow-9 (FS-003). PCGS VF-30.

1857 NGC MS-64.

1857 MS-62.

Consideration could be given for providing a grade of fully "choice" MS-63, as the luster, strike and lack of abrasions make a case for that grade. Occasional flecks of carbon can be seen on the... |

Sadly, the submitter of this 1857 Flying Eagle cent did not have the coin's attribution of "Snow-4" indicated on the slab, as it is easily one of the splendid Snow varieties for the date, identified... |

1857 Flying Eagle cent, PCGS MS-64
