Collectible coins are objects of numismatic interest, often valued for their historical significance, rarity, and condition. In the United States, one notable type is the One Cent Penny, particularly the Flying Eagle Cent, produced between 1856 and 1858. The Flying Eagle designs, created by engraver James B. Longacre, depict a soaring eagle on the obverse and a composition that emphasizes the themes of freedom and progress in U.S. history. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their short production run and distinctive design.
