Description
Reflective 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
Snow-3, MS63
1856 1C MS63 PCGS. Snow-3. With Eagle Eye Photo Seal and
Card. Most of the 1856 Flying Eagle proofs are from the Snow-9 die
pairing, with a center dot on the reverse under the upper left
serif of N in CENT; the Snow-3 marriage comprises largely business
strikes, easily identified by the repunched flag on the 5 in the
date.The head and tail feathers are somewhat weak on this specimen, and there is occasional weakness as well on the reverse wreath. A bit of planchet granularity appears on the obverse at the lower rim, and a few light flecks appear in the central reverse. This piece is brightly reflective, with considerable blue and reddish patina over the original surfaces.
The population data concerning Snow-3 versus Snow-9 are basically useless, but it suffices to say that both varieties see heavy collector demand. This Select Mint State example of this perennially popular key issue should neatly fill the bill for some forthright bidder. Population: 42 in 63, 49 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
