This is an 1858 Flying Eagle Cent, a one-cent piece from the United States of America. The obverse features a flying eagle with the text 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the date '1858'. The reverse displays the denomination 'ONE CENT' within a wreath. This coin is graded as Very Fine (VF), indicating it has seen circulation but retains most of its design details. The coin exhibits a natural, even toning, with a minor rim ding visible on the obverse above 'STATES'. The details on the eagle's feathers and the wreath are visible but not sharp, and the lettering is clear. The Flying Eagle Cent is a short-lived and popular series, minted only from 1857 to 1858, with this being a noteworthy representation of that era. Designed by James B. Longacre, the coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and is composed of 88% copper and 12% nickel, earning it the nickname 'white cent' or 'nickel'. Inventory #25
