1858 Flying Eagle Cent
This historic 1858 Flying Eagle Cent is a prize for any numismatic enthusiast looking to own a tangible piece of pre-Civil War America. Struck from a unique, heavy copper-nickel composition nicknamed "nicks," this design was minted for only two primary years before being replaced. Imagine the journeys this coin has taken, passing through the hands of merchants, soldiers, and early citizens during the panic of 1857 and the build-up to the American Civil War. Its rugged, honest wear speaks to decades of circulating through a rapidly growing nation, making it a perfect conversation piece or historical anchor for your private collection. Add this iconic, short-lived piece of United States history to your vault today.
