Description

More Affordable 1856 Flying Eagle Cent

1856 1C --Repaired, Whizzed--ANACS. XF Details, Net VF20. Snow-5. We do not know exactly how many examples of the Snow-5 die marriage were produced by the Mint, but Snow (2001) states that these coins were among the first Flying Eagle Cents prepared in 1856. The coin in this lot is overall bold in detail with some light wear that is only readily evident over the highest points of the design. The reverse, as well as the obverse periphery, displays curious tan and cobalt coloration. The central obverse, on the other hand, is bright with a pinkish sheen. Both sides are glossy in texture with scattered distractions that include a few moderate obverse scrapes.
From the Dr. Richard Tavernetti Collection.
