Description
Toned Choice Proof 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
1856 1C PR64 NGC. Snow-9. Golden-brown encompasses design elements, while the open fields display ice-blue. Glimpses of rose-red visit the margins. The attractive toning and reflective luster combine with an exacting strike to ensure the eye appeal. No carbon is readily evident, and there are no abrasions. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent played a vital role in the growth of American numismatics just prior to the Civil War. Every collector had to have at least one, an achievable goal unlike the 1804 dollar. Demand for the small diameter 1856 cent was so strong that the Mint unofficially produced at least 1,000 pieces a few years later, most of which, like the present coin, came from Snow-9 proof dies.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227A, PCGS# 2037, GSID# 15311)
