Transitional Tuesday: 1858 Flying Eagle Cent Transitional Pattern PCGS PR65 CAC

1858 P1C Flying Eagle cent, Judd-191, Pollock-234, R.5, PR65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A transitional pattern that combines the regular dies of the Small Letters obverse of 1858 with 1859's Laurel Wreath reverse. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. This is the much scarcer Pollock-234 variant, which has the Small Letters obverse that is combined with six-leaf clusters in the wreath on the reverse. The underlying bright copper-nickel alloy is accented by a slight overlay of reddish patina with an occasional dash of lilac interspersed.
