1857 Flying Eagle Cent VG-10 15313.10

The 1857 Flying Eagle Cent is a key early issue in American small cent coinage, representing the first year the United States Mint produced the smaller, copper-nickel cent format. This example grades VG-10, showing moderate even wear with the main design elements clearly visible. The Flying Eagle design, with the eagle in full flight on the obverse and the agricultural wreath on the reverse, remains discernible and appealing at this grade level. A solid circulated example of this short-lived and historically significant series.
