Owner Comments:


1858 1C Flying Eagle Small
J-202, Pollock-245
Rarity: R.5
Eagle Eye Photo Seal.

Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge.

Obverse: The hook-necked (or Skinny) eagle design (usually attributed to Longacre)
Reverse: a simple laurel wreath with "ONE CENT" in the center. This piece has clusters of five leaves (Pollock-245) vs P-246 with six leaves and a bit scarcer.

Rich golden coloring with the fields nicely mirrored. A few minor specks limits the grade.

This is one of the 12 1858 1c pieces part of the pattern sets distributed to Congress
