Popular 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR62

1856 1C PR62 NGC. Snow-9. The common proof-only variety of the 1856 Flying Eagle cents, this piece displays satiny light tan surface with pastel pink, blue, and gold accents. The surfaces are minutely granular, visible only with a glass. While hardly in the major rarity class, the 1856 Flying Eagle cents have been the subject of widespread popularity and demand for decades. For many years, it was believed that the mintage was a mere 1,000 coins, although today numismatists recognize that an additional unknown number of restrikes were coined in later years.(Registry values: N4719)
