Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
Snow-9, Intricate Strike
1856 1C Snow-9 PR65 NGC. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is the
first and rarest date of the small cent denomination. Snow-9
originals were struck in business format in 1856 to demonstrate the
new diameter and design to Washington officials. The quantity
produced was insufficient to satisfy the burgeoning numismatic
hobby in America, and Snow-13 proofs were struck circa 1858 to 1859
to meet collector demand. Despite the restrikes, the issue remains
rare today, with only a few thousand pieces known. This fully
struck golden-brown Gem is virtually pristine save for a single
carbon fleck above the tail and a brief line on the reverse field
near 3 o'clock.From The rhp Collection.
