1858 1C SM LT MS64+ PCGS CAC

A highly lustrous 1858 Small Letters Flying Eagle Cent, this PCGS MS64+ CAC piece offers strong technical quality and excellent eye appeal, placing it at the upper end of the assigned grade. Both obverse and reverse display crisp definition, most notably in the eagle’s feather detail and the reverse wreath, where the leaves and bow are well articulated with full clarity. The surfaces are enveloped in a rich, original blend of deep amber and warm tan-gold coloration that bring out the underlying luster. The fields remain clean and well-preserved, free of any major abrasions, supporting its premium status within the grade. Despite a substantial mintage, the issue is surprisingly elusive today, with an estimated survival of only 4,500 examples across all grades. Last public MS64+ PCGS CAC sold for $3,600 06/25 SB; with the present coin offering even stronger eye appeal.
