MS64 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
Snow-9 Dies

1856 1C MS64 PCGS. Snow-9. A fully struck and unabraded near-Gem with pastel olive-green and rose-red toning. Outstanding quality for this famous introductory issue. Early small cent expert Rick Snow believes that the Snow-9 variety was coined in proof format during the late 1850s to satisfy growing collector demand for high grade examples of the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, which had in a few short years already become a numismatic classic. Minor mint-made laminations, as made, are noted at 12 o'clock on the reverse and above the ES in STATES. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 2013, Greysheet# 15310)
