Flying Eagle Cents are a type of collectible coin produced by the United States Mint between 1856 and 1858. They feature a design by engraver James B. Longacre, showcasing a flying eagle on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. These coins were minted in a copper-nickel alloy and were introduced to replace the large cent due to rising costs of copper. The Flying Eagle Cent is notable for its historical significance and relatively low mintage, making it a popular choice among collectors.
