1857 1C Flying Eagle Cent PCGS PR64+CAM (CAC/PHOTO SEAL)
Here is an incredible example. My research shows this to be the finest of the very few that are graded. The mirrors are deep as black ice and the devices frosty as snow. It has the look of a true gem and the only reason, for it not being a gem is a few light marks above the eagle's left wing. These are minor, in my opinion. This is a very tough coin with only 100 estimated mintage. Pricing for this coin is difficult since the last recorded auction sale ($15K+) for a PR64CAM was a very weakly struck example with no tail detail. One has to go back 9 years for a comparable Photo Sealed coin in PR64CAM selling at auction: ($20K+ in 2006). This is a real outstanding coin and is the finest example for the grade. The only example graded 64+CAM with only 4 examples graded higher.
