Struck in copper-nickel at Philadelphia (no mint mark).\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e the \"58\" of the date is clear below the eagle; the \"18\" is worn and corroded away. Flying Eagle cents were only struck dated 1856, 1857 and 1858, so the \"58\" identifies this coin as an 1858. The Large Letters or Small Letters variety cannot be told from the photos because AMERICA is too worn, so no variety is claimed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade: About Good.\u003c\/strong\u003e The eagle is in full outline with no feather detail. UNITED STATES OF is readable, AMERICA is weak, and the date is only partly visible. On the reverse the wreath is in outline and ONE CENT is faint but traceable. The rims are mostly complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition, please read:\u003c\/strong\u003e in fairness, this coin has heavy corrosion on both sides, with a rough, pitted surface, dark red-brown patches and spots of green verdigris (most visible on the reverse and in the obverse fields). There are also scattered scratches and marks, including a line across the lower obverse field.
