my 1858 flying eagle cent

This is my flying eagle cent that I have for years. I love these coins and i just want to share with you. I think the reverse is a misaligned die.

Love them too. Had both 1858 large & small date that my great grandfather collected before they were stolen.

yup, nice

Large Motto, and reverse is a slight MAD.

I too love the FE cents I only one and will get others later just not in a hurry looking for the right coin at the right price. They are the premier small cent IMO.

It would be awesome to have a Flying Eagle Commemorative…same design just on a dollar or half dollar.

And it's a large letter at that. Got any close ups to see if it could be a overdate 1858/7?

I like them too. The eye appeal of your 58 is very nice. I have four 57's, three 58 large dates, and three 58 small dates.
