1858 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-202, Pollock-246, R.5, PR64 NGC. The hook-necked eagle pattern obverse, usually attributed to Longacre, was paired with several reverses during the year. Judd-202 displays ONE CENT in a simple laurel wreath with clusters of either five (Pollock-245) or six (Pollock-246) leaves (seen here). Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Most of each side displays deep blue-gray patina with bright honey-tan color surrounding the lettering and other devices. With the help of a loupe a few tiny contact marks can be seen in the field above the date.
