HA #1341 Orlando (1/22), ex-Palm Beach Collection; ex-Bob R. Simpson Collection. 1858 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65+ Cameo Snow-PR1, Large Letters. A single die pair is known for the 1858 proof Flying Eagle cent. This issue is scarce in all grades and seldom seen as a Cameo in Gem condition. In The Flying Eagle & Indian Cent Attribution Guide, third edition, Rick Snow writes: “The estimated mintage of 100 is derived from the 80 silver sets reportedly sold plus a small mintage of pattern sets, no more than 20. The number of survivors seems to fit these figures and serve as a reasonable starting point. I would estimate that about 50 examples exist today.” The Simpson coin is a Plus-graded Gem with attractive field device contrast. Razor-sharp definition complements reflective fields and rich copper-orange and violet toning. No distracting contact marks are seen, and there are just a few minor flecks beneath a loupe. Population: 7 in 65 (3 in 65+) Cameo, 2 finer (11/21). NGC ID# 227C, PCGS# 82042

Top Pop/CAC. LRCA (1/20). Thank you to Greg/LRCA for recognizing the upgrade potential to CAM from PR67+RD. An EXTRAORDINARY wonder coin! This stunning SUPERB GEM is the FINEST KNOWN for the date at PCGS and quite possible for the DATE. The quality is unbelievable! Bottomless mirrors are clean, clear and deep and reflect back incredibly rich, golden fiery orange and electrifying pink hues! Thick frost graces the needle sharp design elements which contrast boldly against the amazing mirrored fields. The eye appeal is simply STUNNING in every way! PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. There are NO auction records for a PR67 or 67+ graded coin. This piece is the pioneer! PCGS # 82392.00.
