This website was created to provide coin collectors with a resource and reference for Flying Eagle Cents. The coins first appeared in circulation in 1857 in replacement of the old copper Large Cents. Although the design was short lived before being replaced with the Indian Head Cent, it marked an important change for the denomination.

On this site you will find images of the Flying Eagle Cent along with history and highlights of the series. Find additional information on mintages, key dates, and coin specifications.

Images for the site are provided by Coin Page.
