The 1857 Flying Eagle is a first-year-of-issue type coin and one of the first small cents struck for circulation. A worn example grades around Good-4 at roughly $27–$30, a Very Fine coin runs about $70, and uncirculated pieces start near $225, climbing past $650 in higher Mint State. Struck in a copper-nickel alloy, these cents are thicker and paler than the bronze Indian Head cents that followed.
Because early small cents are increasingly counterfeited, buy the 1857 Flying Eagle certified and authenticated — we inspect every coin before it ships.
