1858/7 Flying Eagle 1c Strong, Early Die State MS66 PCGS Secure ~ Single Finest!
Snow-1, FS-301, Pop 1! The closeup of 8 in the date shows the top-right corner of the fancy 7 as well as the top arc and a small beginning portion of the downstroke. Rick Snow writes in the Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Cents that "sometime in the middle of the striking run, the obverse die was taken out and resurfaced, removing evidence of the overdate. These later die state pieces are passed over by knowledgeable numismatists and may sell only at a slight premium." The early die state pieces showing traces of the 7 underdigit are far more desirable than higher-graded pieces lacking such evidence. With the present MS66 PCGS example, of course, collectors get the best of all worlds, an early die state piece at the top of the Condition Census POP 1-0. Golden-tan surfaces with rose accents are trouble-free on either side of this piece, a remarkable coin. This sharply struck piece even shows good detailing on the wreath on the reverse, a feature normally absent. Single Finest examples of Guide book coins don’t come to market every day!
