Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR61
Snow-3 Original Issue
1856 1C Snow-3 PR61 NGC. The Snow-3 variety is the second
most often seen die pair for 1856 Flying Eagle cents, behind the
Snow-9 proof restrikes. Snow-3's mintage is estimated between 500
and 700 pieces, and it likely represents the specific coins
distributed to members of congress in 1856 to promote passage of
the coinage bill establishing a nickel-alloy small cent coin. This
is a pleasing lower-end example. Modestly reflective fields
complement plum-brown and copper-orange patina across each side.
Minor marks limit the grade, including a thin line in the obverse
field above the eagle.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 47058, Base PCGS# 2037, Greysheet# 376130)
Weight: 4.70 grams
Metal: 88% Copper, 12% Nickel
