Description
1857 Flying Eagle Cent
PR65 Cameo, Snow PR-1
1857 1C PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Snow PR-1. Both primary
diagnostics for Snow PR-1 are present: a die line from the I in
UNITED to the rim, and a diagonal die line on the field below the
beak. But these diagnostics are unnecessary to identify the present
specimen as a Gem proof. The strike is razor-sharp, even on the
veins of the cotton leaves, and the fields are prominently
mirrored. A mint-made lint mark west of the O in ONE must serve as
an identifier, because carbon is confined to a few trivial
pinpoints. 1857 Flying Eagle cents are much rarer in proof format
than their more famous 1856 predecessors, especially in the present
quality. Population: 4 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (11/15).From The Tom & Jean Fore Collection.(Registry values: P2)
