This 1858 Flying Eagle Cent, attributed to the Large Letters variety, has been graded XF (Extra Fine) Details by NGC, with a note of environmental damage. The obverse features the iconic flying eagle design surrounded by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the date "1858." The reverse showcases a wreath encircling the denomination "ONE CENT." This design, struck only between 1856 and 1858, marked a significant transition to smaller-sized cents, replacing the earlier large cent series. Despite its noted condition issues, it remains a cherished collectible due to its historical significance and distinctive design.
