Description: 1858 1C Large Letters SKU: 50469958 Introducing an exceptional piece for numismatists and collectors alike: the 1858 1C Large Letters Flying Eagle Cent, graded MS65 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and endorsed with the coveted Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) designation. This coin hails from the Philadelphia Mint and represents a significant chapter in American numismatics, being part of the initial wave of Small Cents that were manufactured following the discontinuation of the Large Cent in 1857. The 1858 Flying Eagle Cent features the Large Letters variety, known for the characteristic connection at the bases of the A and M in AMERICA—an indicator of its distinguishing design. Among the three major varieties released that year, the Large Letters variant is more prevalent, yet finding one in such a high state of preservation is rare and noteworthy. The overall production of these coins in 1858 saw an impressive minting of over 24 million, but only 199 coins from this population have been graded as MS65 by PCGS, with just 78 coins assessed at a higher grade, underscoring the rarity and desirability of this particular specimen. Exhibiting an exquisite blend of copper hues, this coin exemplifies the artistry and meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The obverse gracefully captures the iconic flying eagle design, while the reverse features the intricately detailed wreath and shield motif. As a certified MS65 by PCGS, this coin assures the collector of its superior condition, marked by its sharp strike and excellent aesthetic appeal, further enhanced by the CAC seal of approval, affirming both quality and market appeal. For enthusiasts and serious collectors seeking to enhance their collection with a coin of historical and numismatic significance, the 1858 1C Large Letters Flying Eagle Cent PCGS MS65 (CAC) presents an unparalleled opportunity. As one of the finest examples available, it offers both a glimpse into an era of innovation at the U.S. Mint and a storied testament to the artistry that characterizes the nation's early coinage.
