Description: Add this interesting "struck through grease" error 1857 Flying Eagle Cent to your coin collection. Strike was a constant problem with the Flying Eagle cent, which is why it was so short-lived. But this is the weakest reverse we've seen. Notice the center of the reverse is almost completely missing the words "One Cent". One might attribute this to circulation wear excepting for the full rim, which tells a different story. It's full intact. The error is also noted on the obverse at two o'clock. The most likely explanation is that this coin was struck through grease. Grease or a combination of oil, grease, and small metal shavings fill the crevices in the die, causing the details of the coin to be thin, mushy looking, or even completely nonexistant.As is the case with this coin. Please examine the condition of each coin carefully as the coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive. Grading is Subjective. Free Shipping is included with this purchase. Shipping to USA only.
