• COLLECTOR'S NOTE: The Flying Eagle Cent, minted from 1856, featured a detailed flying eagle on the smaller copper-nickel coin, a departure from large cents. Designed by James B. Longacre, it marked a shift in coinage. Despite wear issues, it's an iconic piece transitioning to the Indian Head Cent in 1859, holding immense numismatic value.
