Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR61
Scarcer Snow-3 Variety
1856 1C Snow-3 PR61 NGC. Repunching on the 5 in the date
aids in identification of this scarcer 1856 Flying Eagle cent
variety. Series authority Rick Snow suggests that no more than 700
examples of this variety were struck, with many of these coins
making up at least most of the pieces that were distributed to
Congress during the passage of the legislation that abolished the
large cent and established the new small cent. Survivors from this
die pair are estimated to comprise only about 20 percent of the
total 1856 Flying Eagle cent population. The present piece is
better-struck than most examples of Snow-3, with the eagle's
tailfeathers well-delineated. Medium bronze-gold patina blankets
each side, and the surfaces exhibit satiny mint luster. Some minor
planchet irregularity is noted on the reverse from 7 to 1 o'clock,
undetectable to the unaided eye.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 47058, Base PCGS# 2037, Greysheet# 376130)
