1858 Flying Eagle Cent Value

1856 marked an auspicious year in the historical past of the US Mint. From the very beginning, one cent pieces had been a staple of United States coins. Everybody knew their look and their feel. Everybody was comfortable with the coin, until 1856.

Since the start of US coinage, the face of the one cent piece had featured an outline of the goddess Liberty. Admittedly, there had been several completely different depictions of Liberty, with every providing its coin with an interesting name. Flowing Hair Cents have been produced by the US Mint from 1793 by way of 1796, when they were changed by Draped Bust Cents. The Classic Head Cent design was the design produced from 1808 through 1814 when it was changed by the Coronet Head Cent. Finally, the Braided Hair Cent took middle stage in 1839. It was additionally referred to as the "Silly Head" or the "Booby Head" Cent. The Braided Hair Cent was produced by means of 1857.

People started to object to carrying round these coins. Some individuals said the coins have been too massive, with a diameter of 27.5 millimeters (merchants complained that the coins "clogged up" their tills). There were complaints that the cash had been too heavy, weighing in at a hefty 10.89 grams. The general public appeared to be ready for a change in its pennies.

In 1856 the US Mint began producing a smaller, lighter one cent coin. The Flying Eagle Cent was the first of what collectors now consult with as "Small Cents" (weighing 4.7 grams with a diameter of 19 millimeters) contrasted with the one cent cash heretofore produced being dubbed "Massive Cents."

The public didn't just like the coin. The Flying Eagle Cent didn't encompass pure copper, as had all one previous one cent coins. It was 88% copper and 12% nickel. The lighter color prompted the general public to derogatorily confer with the brand new cent because the "white cent." Folks weren't pleased with the design either. Although design on the obverse (or face) of James Barton Lengthy acre's coin depicts an Eagle in Flight, people typically referred to the coin as the "Buzzard Cent."

Officials on the US Mint had been embarrassed. They shortly made plans to revamp the coin. Longacre was commissioned to produce the new design. The Eagle was eliminated, and Liberty returned to the entrance of the one cent coin, this time carrying a Native American headdress. The Indian Head Cent remains one of the common cash ever produced by the US Mint, while the Flying Eagle Cent took its place among the coins with the briefest mintage in US history...simply [two] years (1857-1858).

Incidentally, for those who happen to find a Flying Eagle Cent bearing the date 1856, you'd be nicely-advised to take the coin to an expert to have it evaluated. The 1856 coins have been solely produced as examples to be presented to Congress and other officers to encourage them to help the coin's acceptance. As soon as the vote was taken, legislators have been presupposed to return the cash to the US Treasury. The coins have been speculated to be destroyed, and minting of the Flying Eagle Cent to start in 1857.

Somehow, not all of the coins made their approach back to the Mint. Evidently a few of them have been stored as souvenirs by varied people. The cash' rarity brought about their collector's value to soar. Now, even probably the most mediocre specimens of the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent promote for in excess of $5,000, with the nicest of these cash expected to deliver well in extra of $one hundred,000. (The Skilled Coin Grading Service lists the worth of the best grade Flying Eagles they've certified as $a hundred and fifty,000.) For sure, counterfeiters have taken observe of these numbers and have taken steps to try to defraud individuals by producing and promoting fakes.

So a set of Flying Eagle Cents consists of three cash . . . the 1857, and [two] varieties (Giant Letters and Small Letters) of the 1858. You should purchase attractive specimens of all three coins for a total of lower than $200.
