The Flying Eagle Cent, minted from 1856 to 1858, is an important type of collectible coin in the United States. It was the first small-sized one-cent coin, featuring a design by engraver James B. Longacre. The obverse depicts a flying eagle, symbolizing freedom, while the reverse showcases a wreath surrounding the denomination. The 1858 Flying Eagle Cent is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other coins of the era.
