...that the Flying Eagle Cent was struck in the United States for circulation in 1857 and 1858 only?
• The series of small cents was the successor to the large cent, which was expensive to make and not popular with the general public.
• Although 1856 Flying Eagle Cents exist in both circulation strike and proof format, these are in fact pattern coins and not regular issues.
• Many have led people to the conclusion that this is a regular issue struck for circulation in limited quantities.
