[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3795065, member: 101855"]The trouble is the Flying Eagle Cent is really only available to collectors for two years. The 1856 is a high mintage pattern that has commanded high prices for a long time. The design is attractive in high grade, and there is type collector demand. "Coin Facts" estimates that there are a little over 7,000 Flyers in MS-60 to 64 and close to 700 pieces in MS-65 or bettter. The 1859 Indian Cent without the shield on the reverse is a minor one year type that is recognized by most type collectors. It is scarcer than the Flying Eagle. The copper-nickel Cents are more common that the Flyers. There are over 11,000 in MS-60 to 64. MS-65 and better number over 1,500. To answer you question, the higher prices for the Flying Eagle have to do with both supply and demand with demand giving them the bigger push.[/QUOTE]
