The lowest mintage proof issue of the 3-year series, the 1857 is often overlooked because of its more famous 1856 cousin. Proof examples of this issue are truly underrated.
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.
