Description

Elegant Near-Mint 1856 Flying Eagle Cent

1856 1C AU58 PCGS. Snow-9, a variety most often associated with proofs, distinguished by the die gouge within the lower left ribbon and a die line within the wing near the I of UNITED. The 1856-dated Flying Eagle cents, though patterns, are immensely popular with small set collectors and often appear alongside their regular-issue brethren in specialized cabinets. This beautifully detailed example shows only a trace of minor friction at the uppermost design elements. The peach-mocha surfaces remain luminous, and a single mark on the eagle's tail has little effect on the overall visual appeal. Housed in a green label PCGS holder, classified as a proof coin according to that service's classification system, but assigned an AU58 grade.
