Description:

1856 Flying Eagle Cent PR63 NGC. Snow-9, identified by the centering dot just left of N in CENT. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is actually a pattern (Judd-180), but its historic importance and availability resulted in its acceptance into the regular Flying Eagle series at an early date. Due to tremendous collector demand, Mint Director James Ross Snowden ordered restrikes made in 1859, and most proof examples are from this emission. The total estimated proof mintage is on the order of 1,500 pieces. The present coin is an attractive specimen, with sharp striking details and slightly streaky golden-brown toning. Richard Snow considers PR63 or PR64 the optimum combination of quality and value for this issue.
From The Boca Collection, Part II.(Registry values: N4719) (#2037)

We changed the way we image slabbed coins on February 1, 2010, in order to get a more accurate image of the coin. To get the sharper details and more accurate colors we have focused the lighting on the actual coin, which has caused the top of the holders to appear darker and milky. Please disregard the color of the holders when examining the images.
