Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Thirteen peripheral stars surround a long-necked flying eagle, with its head tilted slightly upward, the date 1855 below. <strong>Rev:</strong> A circular wreath surrounds the denomination ONE CENT with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. There are four leaves in the cluster below the letter E in STATES. This is a sharply impressed, attractively original specimen with rich copper-brown and olive patina to both sides. There are no detracting blemishes, and the eye appeal alone would seem to suggest a full Gem rating. From a mintage of approximately 100 examples for this die pairing.
