      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 2043
      Coin Date: 1858
      Denomination (Short): 1c
      Denomination (Long): Cent
      Variety: Flying Eagle
      Variety 2: Small Letters
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 0.880 Copper; 0.120 Nickel
      Mintage: 200
      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 small letters variety is the more common of the two letter types with a mintage of 200. 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.
