Lovely 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR64

1856 1C Flying Eagle PR64 PCGS. Snow-9. The fields are shallowly mirrored on this coin, but it is obviously a proof striking. The striking details are fully brought up in all areas and there are no specks of carbon on either side. Most of each side has mellowed to a rich golden-brown but there are still noticeable portions of mint red surrounding the devices. A lovely near-Gem example of this popular issue, from the first issue of a "small cent" type in American coinage. Between 1500 and 2500 pieces are believed to have been produced, according to page 109 of the 2009 Guide Book. (Registry values: N4719)
