Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
'Probably the Finest' Snow-4
Pointed U, Rare Die Pairing
1856 1C Snow-4 PR65 PCGS. CAC. In his 2014 two-volume
reference, Rick Snow writes that "only 10 examples [are] traced"
for Snow-4a, and "probably the finest is a PR65 graded by PCGS in
the Dr. Tom Fore Collection." That coin is the present lot, listed
as #1 in his roster. It is a sharply struck and moderately mirrored
specimen with a mark-free appearance and a few stray field specks
near the date. ONE CENT is lightly hubbed, a characteristic of the
variety. Most 1856 Flying Eagle cents are either S-3 business
strikes or S-9 proofs, and the remaining varieties are highly
elusive. Now that variety information is disseminated, the rare
marriages will command increasing premiums in the future.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 5189, which realized $25,300; Tom Fore.
From The Tom & Jean Fore Collection.
