Description
1856 Snow-5b Flying Eagle Cent
Judd-181, Struck in Copper
PR64 Red and Brown
1856 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-181, Pollock-213, Snow-5b, R.7,
PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Struck from the same Snow-5 1856
Flying Eagle cent plain edge dies used to strike copper-nickel
proofs, but in copper alloy. The Snow-5 dies are identified by a
small spur from the base of the U in UNITED, and a second spur from
the end of the left wreath stem. Snow-5 is rare in copper-nickel,
and even rarer in copper. Rick Snow calls the copper Snow-5 cents
"very rare" and suggests "using X-Ray spectroscopy to determine
their composition." The present specimen is fully struck and
exhibits undisturbed mirrored fields. Rich lavender-red,
peach-gold, and apple-green toning ensures the eye appeal.From The Tom & Jean Fore Collection.
