An 1857 Flying Eagle Cent from the Philadelphia Mint. This pre Civil War Copper Cent has been certifierd, encapsulated and graded XF details by NGC, a top service. The First series of the Small Cents, this specimen has suffered some environmental damage in it's 166 year history; which resulted in some pitted surfaces. A Sharp strike has kept all devices bold and strong enough to earn the grade. A descent mid grade example for any collection.
