Snow-9 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, MS62

1856 1C MS62 PCGS. CAC. Snow-9. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is one of the most widely distributed and widely collected U.S. pattern coins, sometimes pursued by collectors as a way of spicing up the otherwise short set of Flying Eagle cents. This is an example of the relatively available Snow-9 variety, well-defined with prominent rose and peach overtones to the light brown surfaces. Small digs and wispy abrasions are noted in the fields, as are a number of scattered flyspecks, the most prominent of which appears at the second S of STATES. Housed in a first-generation holder. PCGS has certified 88 numerically finer examples (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
