1856 1C Flying Eagle, S-9 PR66 Certification #58619544, PCGS #147890

Owner's Comments

EEPS. CAC. PDS: (14: 4,5,5). This beautiful example shows a reddish coppery tone with good mirrors & extraordinary eye appeal! The fields are nearly flawless. There is a debris strike through above the left wreath tip on the reverse. This piece is the highest graded example in the S-9 category out of the 16 examples showing in the pop. Ex: Wright Flyer Collection.
