1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-172, Pollock-198, Low R.6, PR65 Brown PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Flying Eagle cent pattern with hook-neck eagle on the obverse, paired with a reverse that has a smaller wreath than seen on the Judd-167 to 171 variants. Also, two leaves are located beneath the E in STATES. Struck in copper with a plain edge. According to USPatterns.com, "Both originals and restrikes are known and are extremely rare showing any red color." This particular piece may give some indication why this is so. The surfaces have a woodgrain pattern, similar to the surfaces sometimes seen on 1909-S VDB cents. We conclude this is a problem inherent in the planchets for this issue, rather than careless preservation. Sharply detailed on the eagle, less so on the wreath on the reverse.
