Snow-3 1856 Flying Eagle Cent PR55

1856 1C PR55 PCGS. Snow-3. This die marriage is scarcer than Snow-9 and is normally associated with the business strikes produced in 1856 for distribution to Washington, D.C. notables. Although we believe the present piece to be a business strike, PCGS has in recent years certified all 1856 Flying Eagle cents as proofs, including the current lot. This lightly circulated example shows moderate friction on the eagle's breast, but luster glimmers across the wreath and plumage when it is rotated beneath a light. The tan-brown surfaces are problem-free aside from a small number of tiny spots relegated to the reverse border near 3 o'clock.(Registry values: N4719)
