Was in vg condition. 1858 US Flying Eagle Cent - Pre civil war ### ⭐ coin was labled AG by seller *by P***R on January 5, 2018* bait and switch,very disappointed,was not looking for almost good condition,not as advertised,worth half what i paid for it, i will buy a flying eagle elsewhare for my typeset this coin did not make the grade, will not buy from sadie the pretty lady again ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not Quite What I Was Expecting Unfortunately ... *by R***I on December 21, 2017* The coin in the picture is NOT the coin you get. The condition of the one I received was nothing like the one pictured. The coin I got was "fair" at best and I'm being liberal in my rating. The lettering at the top reads "UNITED STATE" with the lower half of those letters worn away. The word "America" doesn't even show at all. Also the eagle has no head. It looks more like a fish. LOL! The reverse is OK.Not worth the $22 I dropped on this piece. Maybe $5 or $6 would have been more like it.Lesson #1 Ask before you buy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50005978-united-states-mint-1858-u-s-flying-eagle-cent-pre](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50005978-united-states-mint-1858-u-s-flying-eagle-cent-pre) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
