Reverse Description: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon tied in at the bottom center.
General Notes: Very popular as the key date in the Flying Eagle business strike set, proof coins are far more common than their accepted business-strike counterparts (see 1856 Flying Eagle MS). For this reason, proof examples -- which are the most common date of any in the Flying Eagle type -- are more desirable than the 1857-1858 issues.
