White Eagle
Flying Eagle Gold
1856 marked an auspicious yr in the history of the US Mint. From the very beginning, one cent pieces had been a staple of United States coins. Everybody knew their look and their feel. Everyone was snug with the coin, till 1856.
Since the beginning of US coinage, the face of the one cent piece had featured an outline of the goddess Liberty. Admittedly, there had been a number of completely different depictions of Liberty, with every offering its coin with an interesting name. Flowing Hair Cents have been produced by the US Mint from 1793 via 1796, once they were changed by Draped Bust Cents. The Traditional Head Cent design was the design produced from 1808 by 1814 when it was changed by the Coronet Head Cent. Lastly, the Braided Hair Cent took heart stage in 1839. It was additionally known as the “Silly Head” or the “Booby Head” Cent. The Braided Hair Cent was produced by way of 1857.
People started to object to carrying round these coins. Some people said the cash have been too giant, with a diameter of 27.5 millimeters (merchants complained that the coins “clogged up” their tills). There have been complaints that the coins had been too heavy, weighing in at a hefty 10.89 grams. The public appeared to be ready for a change in its pennies.
In 1856 the US Mint began producing a smaller, lighter one cent coin. The Flying Eagle Cent was the first of what collectors now confer with as “Small Cents” (weighing 4.7 grams with a diameter of 19 millimeters) contrasted with the one cent cash heretofore produced being dubbed “Massive Cents.”
The public did not just like the coin. The Flying Eagle Cent did not encompass pure copper, as had all one earlier one cent coins. It was 88% copper and 12% nickel. The lighter color precipitated the public to derogatorily seek advice from the new cent because the “white cent.” People weren’t happy with the design either. Though design on the obverse (or face) of James Barton Lengthy acre’s coin depicts an Eagle in Flight, individuals typically referred to the coin because the “Buzzard Cent.”
Officials at the US Mint have been embarrassed. They quickly made plans to revamp the coin. Longacre was commissioned to produce the brand new design. The Eagle was removed, and Liberty returned to the entrance of the one cent coin, this time wearing a Native American headdress. The Indian Head Cent stays one of the crucial well-liked cash ever produced by the US Mint, whereas the Flying Eagle Cent took its place among the cash with the briefest mintage in US history…simply [two] years (1857-1858).
Incidentally, if you happen to occur to discover a Flying Eagle Cent bearing the date 1856, you’ll be properly-advised to take the coin to an professional to have it evaluated. The 1856 coins have been solely produced as examples to be offered to Congress and different officers to encourage them to assist the coin’s acceptance. As soon as the vote was taken, legislators had been supposed to return the coins to the US Treasury. The coins were alleged to be destroyed, and minting of the Flying Eagle Cent to start in 1857.
Somehow, not all the cash made their approach back to the Mint. Evidently a few of them have been kept as souvenirs by various people. The coins’ rarity caused their collector’s worth to soar. Now, even the most mediocre specimens of the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent promote for in excess of $5,000, with the nicest of those coins expected to carry properly in extra of $100,000. (The Skilled Coin Grading Service lists the worth of the highest grade Flying Eagles they’ve certified as $150,000.) Evidently, counterfeiters have taken be aware of these numbers and have taken steps to try to defraud folks by producing and selling fakes.
So a set of Flying Eagle Cents consists of three cash . . . the 1857, and [two] varieties (Large Letters and Small Letters) of the 1858. You can purchase attractive specimens of all three coins for a total of lower than $200.
