Description

King of the Cents, 1856 Flying Eagle, PR65

1856 1C PR65 PCGS. Snow-9. The proof-only Snow-9 variety is immediately recognized by the fine die line that joins the border to the right top of the I in UNITED. Another diagonal die line is also visible from the top of the beak through the U to the border over the N. An impressive Gem proof with satiny luster and reflective fields, exhibiting deep golden-brown obverse and reverse surfaces. A few scattered surface marks and faint hairlines are evident with close microscopic examination, but the overall aesthetic appeal is fit for a king. In this case, it is the king of the small cents.(Registry values: N7079)
