Very interesting example of the 1857 Flying Eagle Cent, the first year of the small cent and a favorite among collectors. This coin is the well-known FS-402 variety, struck from dies that clashed with a Seated Liberty Half Dollar, leaving dramatic clash marks visible on the cent.
This fascinating mint error event occurred when cent dies were accidentally paired with half dollar dies during production, creating one of the most talked-about Flying Eagle varieties.
Certified PCGS VF30, the coin shows strong design detail and attractive original color for the grade.
