Description
1856 Snow-3 Flying Eagle Cent, XF45
Collector-Grade Example
1856 1C Snow-3 XF45 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Snow-3 is
the second most often seen 1856 Flying Eagle cent, behind the
Snow-9 die pairing. Snow-3 is believed to have comprised the coins
distributed to Congress in 1856 to sell lawmakers the idea of a
small cent. The present Choice XF example displays deep
chestnut-brown patina and light wear, with appreciable originality.
Rick Snow notes that Snow-3 coins were apparently struck on a
regular production press at normal speed, possibly to test the
striking mass-coinage ramifications of using a nickel alloy.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 47058, Base PCGS# 2037, Greysheet# 376130)
