Description

1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR63
A Fully Struck Example

1856 1C PR63 PCGS. Snow-9. The usual dies for proofs of this historic introductory small cent issue, identified by the telltale faint vertical die crack from the tip of the eagle's beak to the rim. A fully struck Select specimen that shows complete vein detail on the cotton leaves. The open fields are toned medium brown, while lighter chestnut color outlines design elements. Free from any indication of hairlines or contact marks, and the grade is limited only by the occasional minute carbon fleck. For this famous issue, the PR63 grade provides excellent value, since even heavily circulated examples typically sell for thousands of dollars.(Registry values: N4719)
