Flying Eagle cents, struck for circulation only from 1857 to 1858, were the nation's first small cents and marked a significant shift in U.S. coinage. Their bold design and short lifespan make them a must-have for collectors. Indian Head cents, minted from 1859 to 1909, spanned decades of American growth and transformation, from the Civil War through the dawn of the 20th century.
