Description

Important High Grade 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR64

1856 1C PR64 PCGS. Snow-9. Most easily attributable by the faint die line above the I in UNITED and in the fore part of the wing, as well as the tiny die gouge on the lower reverse ribbon. Estimates of the number struck of this variety could be as high as 2,000 pieces, but only 1,500 or so are believed known today. The surfaces are nicely mirrored for this type with a smoky overlay of gray patina and significant underlying mint red. Well defined, the surfaces display a few minor but grade-limiting specks of carbon on each side.(#2037) (Registry values: N4719)
