Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Snow-3
AU Sharpness
1856 1C Snow-3 -- Edge Repaired -- PCGS Genuine. Proof, AU
Details. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is key to a date set of
small cents. It is also an historic first-year issue, with an
unknown (but undoubtedly small) mintage. The majority of examples
are actually Snow-9 restrikes, made circa-1858 to take advantage of
burgeoning collector demand. The present piece is a Snow-3
original, struck in 1856 and distributed to Washington officials to
demonstrate the new small cent. Almost all Snow-3 cents were struck
in business format, but PCGS typically certifies any 1856 Flying
Eagle cent as a proof. This is a sharply struck and minimally
abraded example with wire rims and scant evidence of high point
wear. No edge repair is readily apparent, though the deep
walnut-brown color is unusual, as is the slightly mattelike texture
consistent throughout the piece.
