1858 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-198, Pollock-229, Low R.6, PR65 PCGS. The adopted Flying Eagle cent design with large letters on the obverse, while the reverse has a wide oak wreath with a broad, ornamental shield at the top. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge from slightly rotated dies. This well-struck Gem proof displays attractive chestnut-gold and olive color amid some streaky patina. A small mint-made planchet flaw appears below the eagle's claw, and the otherwise immaculate surfaces show a few minuscule carbon flecks. Certified in a green-label holder. Population: 5 in 65, 1 finer (7/17).
