Description
Desirable 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR63
1856 1C PR63 PCGS. Snow-9. A proof-only issue, Snow-9 is the most available Flying Eagle variety and is a perfect representative for a type collector. Although the 1856 Flying Eagle cent is technically a pattern, numismatic scholars have debated whether Mint State or Proof pieces are originals or restrikes. It is now generally believed that the proofs were struck for collectors shortly after 1856. Either way, the 1856 Flying Eagle ranks as one of the most popular 19th century issues.Dusted light brown patina intermingles with the deeply reflective orange-tan fields. The strike is razor-sharp, and there are virtually no marks on each side. A couple of small peripheral obverse spots are noted. This attractive piece would make a wonderful representative.(Registry values: N4719)
