Description

Famous 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
Snow-3 Dies, Proof-15

1856 1C PR15 NGC. Snow-3. From business strike dies, and likely made as a business strike, although designated as a proof by NGC. Pleasing golden-tan color adorns both sides. Wear is noted on the eagle's breast and tail, but the wings retain much plumage detail. Smooth save for a thin mark beneath the TA in STATES and a minor obverse rim nick at 1 o'clock. Overall, a rather attractive example of this famous numismatic issue.(Registry values: N1)
