Description
Satiny 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR62
1856 1C PR62 NGC. Snow-9. This light golden-brown specimen has satin luster, and is sharply struck aside from slight inexactness on the eagle's breast and along the crest of its front wing. An inconspicuous and tiny planchet flake on the left ear of corn provides an identifier. Marks are minimal, and the eye appeal is exceptional for the grade. The faint vertical die crack beneath the beak identifies the later die state of the Snow-9 marriage, unofficially struck by the Philadelphia Mint during the late 1850s for sale to well placed dealers and collectors. Such cents traded for a dollar or so at the time, considered a remarkable premium over face by numismatists of the day.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227A, PCGS# 2037, GSID# 15311)
