1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Snow-3
VF Sharpness

1856 1C -- Reverse Damage -- NGC Details. Proof, VF Details. Snow-3. A walnut-brown example of the historically significant 1856 Flying Eagle cent, the first date of the small cent denomination. Pieces from Snow-3 dies were struck in 1856 to demonstrate the convenient diameter relative to the cumbersome large cent. A majority of the issue are Snow-9 restrikes from later in the decade after collector demand soared. The present Snow-3 specimen made its way into commerce and received a number of tiny marks near the denomination and right wreath end.
