      Coin Date: 1858
      Denomination (Short): 1c
      Denomination (Long): Cent
      Variety: Flying Eagle
      Variety 2: Large Letters
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 0.880 Copper; 0.120 Nickel
      Mintage: 100
      Strike Type: Proof
      Coinage Type: Flying Eagle
      Coinage Years: 1856-1858
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 19
      Weight (Grams): 4.67
      Designer: James B. Longacre
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: An eagle with wings extended in full flight fills the central obverse design with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the top periphery. The date is centered at the bottom.
      Reverse Description: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon tied in at the bottom center.
      General Notes: From a total mintage of 300 coins for the year, the large letters variety is the scarcer of the two letter types with a mintage of 100, half of the reported small letters variety. With that said any proof Flying Eagle is scarce, and underrated especially compared to the 1856, with a mintage close to 1,500 coins. Proof examples of this issue are truly underrated.
