Lovely Snow-9 Select Proof 1856 Flying Eagle Cent

1856 1C PR63 PCGS. Snow-9. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is perhaps the most widely collected pattern issue in American numismatics, thanks in part to a longstanding listing in the Guide Book. The issue was restruck in the years after its original production, and as a result, it is available to collectors in a wide range of grades, albeit at a price.
This exquisitely detailed Select specimen is uncommonly appealing for the grade. Dappled rose, violet, and mahogany-orange shadings enrich each side. Aside from a hairline over the eagle's head and a few tiny points of contact in the field above the date, this is a carefully preserved coin.(Registry values: N4719)
