1 oz Flying Eagle Cent Tribute Proof Strike .999 Copper Round

The 1 oz Flying Eagle Cent Tribute Proof Strike .999 Copper Round pays homage to one of the most historically significant small-cent designs in American numismatics. Inspired by the iconic Flying Eagle Cent originally issued in the mid-19th century, this beautifully struck copper round captures the elegance and bold simplicity that made the original design so memorable.

Struck in 1 AVDP ounce of .999 fine copper, this tribute round combines classic American coin artistry with modern proof-style minting techniques. With a strictly limited mintage of 25,000 pieces worldwide, it offers collectors an affordable and visually striking way to celebrate a foundational chapter in U.S. coinage history.

The Historic Flying Eagle Cent

The original Flying Eagle Cent was introduced in 1856 (pattern) and officially issued in 1857–1858. Designed by James B. Longacre, the coin represented a dramatic departure from earlier large cent designs. Its smaller size, bold eagle motif, and simplified reverse wreath marked a major transition in American coin production.

The Flying Eagle design symbolized forward motion, strength, and national identity during a transformative period in U.S. history. Though the design had a short production life before being replaced by the Indian Head Cent, it remains one of the most beloved and collectible early small cents ever produced.

This tribute round honors that historic design legacy in a modern copper format, allowing collectors to appreciate the artistry without the high cost of original examples.

Tribute Design in Proof-Style Finish

This copper round features a Proof Strike finish, meaning the design exhibits strong contrast between mirrored fields and frosted design elements. The proof-style presentation enhances visual depth and gives the round a refined, high-quality appearance. While this is a tribute piece and not legal tender, the design carefully reflects the aesthetic inspiration of the original Flying Eagle Cent motif.
