1858 Flying Eagle Cent "Small Letters" (AG)

The 1858 Flying Eagle Cent "Small Letters," graded AG (About Good), is a notable coin in the Flying Eagle series, which was one of the first cent designs after the large cent was discontinued. In AG condition, the coin shows heavy wear, with most details worn down, but the basic design, including the eagle in flight and the word "CENT," remains recognizable. The "Small Letters" variety refers to the size of the letters in the word "CENTS" on the reverse, and it is a sought-after variation among collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
