The unprecedented crossover underscores his personal efforts to combat “grade inflation.”
Flying eagle cents were only issued for 3 years and remain popular in most any grade.
Obverse Description
An eagle with wings extended in full flight fills the central obverse design with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the top periphery. The date is centered at the bottom.
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.
