This is an 1858 Flying Eagle Cent, a one-cent piece struck by the United States Mint. The obverse features a flying eagle, while the reverse depicts a wreath surrounding the denomination 'ONE CENT'. Struck only in 1857 and 1858, this coin represents a short-lived and highly sought-after series among collectors. It is composed of 88% copper and 12% nickel. The coin exhibits significant, even wear consistent with its grade, with most fine details such as the eagle's feathers and wreath now smooth. The main design elements, including 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'ONE CENT', and the date '1858', remain visible but flattened, showcasing a gray-brown patina along with some minor surface marks from circulation. Importantly, this coin is presented as raw and not encapsulated by any third-party grading service. Don’t miss the chance to own this classic piece of numismatic history. Inventory #22
