I received this beauty in the mail. 1858 Flying Eagle cent, gold CAC, as it is certainly under graded. It is very hard to find an attractive example and i'm happy that Coinlieutenant let this one go.

What a perfect one! Congratulations ☺️
Looks like it could regrade to 64+ or 65

Neato!
I always find these hard to grade, but based on the overall even luster, I'd be surprised if it didn't re-grade at a 65 given the way these cents tend to look.
Beautiful!
It’s a beaut Clark👍👌

Please consider sending the coin to Rick Snow and getting a Photo Seal on it. That would make the ultimate approval set for the example.
Great flyer. Congrats on a great pickup.

That is one of the nicest Flying Eagle cents I have seen.... Must have been protected from day of issue. Cheers, RickO
Very nice. I think you should resubmit for its rightful grade and Trueview.

Definitely, a keeper for sure.
Gorgeous coin!
Definitely deserves the gold bean!
I've thought about it. Right now I'm leaning more towards no just because it's so well preserved in the holder there's always the chance of damage during the re holding. I actually have a registry set on PCGS I'm working on and this in a 63 isn't maximizing my score, not that I will rank anywhere near the big boys regardless.
Nice one!
There are excellent photographers on this board if you prefer but you could always send it in for a re-holder and Trueview but no regrade so you can keep the same cert # and gold bean.
That's a nice one...if you are into gorgeous coins. 😍
