Description

Impressive 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR62
Snow-9

1856 1C PR62 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Snow-9, the usually seen proof dies, identified by the nearly imperceptible vertical die crack beneath the beak and a tiny die scratch (as made) on the left ribbon end. The opening of the O in OF is nearly square-shaped, as always on 1856 Flying Eagle cents, but unlike the vast majority of circulation strikes for the series. This needle-sharp and essentially mark-free specimen has even golden-tan toning aside from minor spots on the T in CENT and on the reverse rim at 3 o'clock. Careful rotation beneath a loupe locates a few faint hairlines on the obverse exergue, and these are all that deny a much finer grade.(Registry values: N4719)
