Check the listing for details. 1857 Flying Eagle Cent !RARE! XF 40 | "BullionPLUS Throwback” | First Small Cent. Color: BN, Made in United States. Listed at 299.00 USD. !! RARE !! This is a genuine 1857 Flying Eagle Cent, a historic first-year business strike of the U.S. small cent series. This particular coin is graded XF 40 (Extremely Fine) by NGC, indicating it has light wear on the highest points of the design, such as the eagle's breast and wing tips. Over 17 million were struck in 1857 to encourage the public to move away from larger, older copper cents. Created by James B. Longacre, the series cent was short-lived (1856–1858) due to striking difficulties—specifically, the eagle's head and tail often failed to strike up clearly.
