Description
Gorgeous PR65 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
1856 1C PR65 PCGS. Snow-9. The Snow-9 variety is the most frequently encountered die pairing for 1856 Flying Eagle cents. These coins were produced from late 1857 until 1860. A considerable (but unknown) number were struck and apparently stockpiled in the Mint for sale to collectors. Snow speculates that after the start of the Civil War sales stagnated, and those pieces that remained were mistakenly released into circulation. This is a lovely example that has lustrous surfaces that display variegated golden-brown and lilac coloration with the reverse being somewhat deeper in hue. A pleasing, high-grade example of this fabled 19th century rarity. Population: 45 in 65, 2 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227A, PCGS# 2037, GSID# 15311)
