Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, MS64
Snow-3, Conditionally Rare
1856 1C Snow-3 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Most
1856 Flying Eagle cents are proof restrikes struck during the late
1850s. The demand from collectors was enormous, and the
Philadelphia Mint obliged the public with undocumented production.
But business strikes for the issue are also known. They are
originals, struck in 1856 from Snow-3 dies to demonstrate the new
small cent. Snow writes that the mintage was "probably no more than
700 pieces." Examples were distributed to Washington officials, and
many were spent once the Flying Eagle cent became commonplace in
commerce. At PCGS, the median grade is AU58. Choice examples are
rare, especially relative to demand. This sharply struck and satiny
cent displays unmarked straw-gold and wheat-brown surfaces. Minor
flan imperfections are on the field near the E in UNITED.
Population: 35 in 64 (3 in 64+), 14 finer. CAC: 5 in 64, 4 finer
(7/21).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 391479, Base PCGS# 2013, GSID# 212989)
