Owner Comments:

Obverse design: Small Flying Eagle Reverse: Oak Wreath with Ornamental Shield

Coin description: Even, lustrous surfaces

Rarity 5 ( 31 - 75 extant) , cross reference Pollack 248,

Coin notes: Rick Snow described the small eagle as a " quail in the throes of death" in his Flying Eagle and Indian Cents masterpiece. The design was rejected due to striking issues with the "large eagle" obverse design ultimately accepted.
