1858 Flying Eagle Cent – XF-45 | Extra Fine

This 1858 Flying Eagle Cent is a top-quality example of America’s first small cent design, and one of the last minted in the short-lived Flying Eagle series (1856–1858). Graded XF-45 (Extra Fine), this coin features strong definition in the eagle’s feathers, full legends, and sharp rims — with only minor wear on the high points.

What sets this coin apart is its exceptionally clean surfaces, original patina, and crisp detail. It has the visual appeal of a well-preserved early copper-nickel coin, making it a perfect fit for serious collectors or type set builders seeking an above-average piece.

Highlights:

• Final-year Flying Eagle cent (1858)

• Graded XF-45 – strong eye appeal and definition

• Very clean, authentic surfaces with excellent detail

• A standout coin from America’s early small cent era

This is not just a filler — it’s a coin with presence. Whether you’re upgrading or building a type set, this sharp and original XF Flying Eagle belongs in your collection.
