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.

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... |

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.

1857 Flying Eagle cent, PCGS MS-64
