1857 Flying Eagle Cent- FS-402 / S-9 (die clash w/Liberty Seated 50c)- PCGS VF20

This is an 1857 Flying Eagle Cent, the key first-year issue of the series, featuring the FS-402 / Snow-9 die clash with a Liberty Seated Half Dollar (50c)—one of the more dramatic and well-documented clashes in U.S. copper. Certified PCGS VF20, this example shows solid mid-grade detail with evenly worn, original surfaces and clear clash evidence where expected. The diagnostics are straightforward and properly attributed on the holder. A historically significant variety combining an iconic short-lived type with a major mint error interaction, this coin delivers real substance without exaggeration—serious, old-school U.S. copper with a story the metal itself tells.
