<B>1858 1C Large Letters PR65 NGC.</B></I> While the famous 1856 Flying Eagle cent always sells for princely sums, when it comes to proof strikings its Large Letters counterpart of 1858 is the true king of this short-lived series. Out of an estimated mintage of only 80-100 pieces, only few dozen specimens have survived at all levels of preservation. In addition to the expected strength of detail and reflective surfaces, proofs can be distinguished by diagonal file marks in the denticles below the first 8 and the 5 in the date, and a minute die file mark near the reverse rim close to 12 o'clock. This elusive Gem displays pinpoint sharpness with milky lilac patina that gives way to glimpses of golden-orange color at the margins. A straight lintmark below ES in STATES was on the dies at the time of striking and is likely unique to this example. Census: 9 in 65, 2 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
