Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, MS63
Rare Snow-4 Low Leaves Reverse
1856 1C MS63 PCGS. Snow-4. A rare Snow variety that pairs
the Low Leaves reverse (first introduced in 1858) with the Pointed
U obverse. The usually seen Snow-9 and Snow-3 varieties have a High
Leaves reverse. In his 2001 attribution reference, series
specialist Rick Snow concludes that Snow-4 was struck in proof
format "most likely near the middle of 1858" with "a surviving
population of about 25 pieces" in copper-nickel. A couple dozen
additional examples in copper, bronze, or nickel alloy are also
known. PCGS certified the present piece as a business strike,
likely because the date location is very similar to the more
plentiful Snow-3. The strike is razor-sharp and the reflective
fields display deep orange and aqua toning when confronted with
light. Devoid of contact though minor carbon is noted above the
date and near ONE CENT.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 2013, GSID# 15310)
