How much is a 1858 Flying Eagle Penny?

The value of an 1858 Flying Eagle Penny depends on its condition and grade.

- A circulated 1858 Flying Eagle Penny in good condition can sell for between $10 and $20.

- A coin in very fine condition can sell for $50 or more.

- A coin in mint state can sell for several hundred dollars.

Because only 19,300 coins were produced in the Philadelphia Mint, they are somewhat scarce. They are slightly more common in lower grades, but coins grading MS-60 or higher can become quite rare, commanding high prices.
