Not Sold Description
Popular 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Proof
1856 1C Proof PCGS Genuine. Snow-3. The 5 in the date is repunched and the E in ONE is closed. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an impaired proof that has been harshly cleaned. Fine hairlines appear on both sides. The surfaces have a tan complexion, but there are a number of small carbon spots on each side. The strike is razor-sharp, and there are no prominent marks. 1856 Flying Eagle cents were struck in both business strike and proof formats. A total of around 2,000 pieces were minted. The regular issues are technically patterns, while the proofs were made for collectors.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227A, PCGS# 2037, GSID# 15311)
