Description
Scarce 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Proof Details
1856 1C --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Proof Details. Snow-9. The diagnostics for this variety are very faint, and most numismatists will need a magnifier in order to see them. These include: a die line from the rim to the upper right serif of I in UNITED that travels well onto the eagle's wing, and a tiny center dot on the reverse that rests just beneath the upper left serif of N in CENT. This is Snow's "Mid: Obv.:" die state, with an additional slender die line that extends from the eagle's beak diagonally upward through U to the rim. This piece displays shallow mirrors in the fields and resembles a business strike, although the rims and denticles are fully brought up. The piece is slightly muted from cleaning, but the golden-tan coloration is largely undisturbed.From The Northwest Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
