Description
Fantastic Gem Proof 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
1856 1C Flying Eagle PR65 NGC. Snow-3, late die state. An original Gem proof that offers an aura of originality, showing deep lilac toning in the fields with remnants of original, deep cherry-red luster around the devices. Close examination with a glass reveals a few tiny surface imperfections but no one can deny the originality of this fully struck, deeply mirrored coin. The 1856-dated Flying Eagle cents, though not released for circulation, are among the few classes of patterns produced in such numbers that series enthusiasts collect them alongside the regular issues. NGC has certified just three finer proofs (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227A, PCGS# 2037, GSID# 15311)
