1856 Flying Eagle Cent, MS62
Snow-9

1856 1C Snow-9 MS62 ANACS. Snow-9 is the most often seen variety of the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, ideal for collectors seeking a single example of this famed small cent key. In The Flying Eagle & Indian Cent Attribution Guide, Rick Snow writes, "These were probably struck during a long period starting in late 1857 and continuing until 1860." Snow-9 is usually designated as a proof issue, although this piece, housed in an old ANACS holder, is label Mint State, due to the satiny nature of the surfaces (a common characteristic of Snow-9). Tan-gold and copper-orange luster displays satiny appeal, with sharp motifs and limited abrasions.
