Description
Acclaimed 1856 Flying Eagle Cent PR63
1856 1C PR63 PCGS. Snow-9. A hair-thin die line from the rim to the I in UNITED helps identify the specific die marriage. Golden-brown toning outlines the legends and devices, while the open fields offer pastel apple-green and rose-red tints. The strike is razor-sharp, one advantage that proofs of this coveted date generally have over their business strike Snow-3 counterparts. A couple of unimportant handling marks on the right obverse field do not appear to limit the grade. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent was an immediate hit with the comparatively few collectors of the era. Its rapid increase in value brought attention to the still-nascent numismatic community. Encapsulated in a green label holder.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227A, PCGS# 2037, GSID# 15311)
