Description
(1856) Flying Eagle Cent in Copper
Judd-179, PR65 Brown
1856 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-179, Pollock-207, Low R.7, PR65
Brown PCGS. Snow-1858 PT1b. Similar to the regular issue Flying
Eagle cent, except that the obverse legends (UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA and the date) are absent. Although no date is present, this
pattern has been traditionally assigned with the 1856 varieties.
Rick Snow believes that Judd-179 was struck in 1858, as part of an
extensive series of pattern issues produced that year. The reverse
die, however, was used on several 1856 cent die marriages,
including S-5, S-6, S-7, and (especially) S-9. It is identified by
a tiny die scratch on the left ribbon end. Struck in copper with a
plain edge. The brown surfaces show occasional dabs of charcoal
over each side. The strike is irregular with full definition on the
reverse but some softness on the tail feathers on the obverse.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 6UEG, PCGS# 11783, Greysheet# 11889)
