Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR61
Snow-3 Original
1856 1C Snow-3 PR61 PCGS. CAC. The Snow-3 1856 Flying Eagle
cent is an original issue, struck in 1856 to demonstrate the new
small cent denomination to Washington officials. Per Rick Snow,
"the quantity struck is probably no more than 700 pieces." A
majority of 1856 Flying Eagle cents are Snow-9 restrikes from the
late 1850s. Those pieces were struck in proof format, while Snow-3
cents were coined as business strikes. In recent decades, the
grading services have designated nearly all 1856 Flying Eagle cents
as proofs. The present specimen appears to be a business strike
without the semireflective fields of a Snow-9 proof. Open areas and
high points are tan-brown, while design recesses display
butter-gold. Minor carbon is scattered. Contact is limited to tiny
rim ticks on the reverse at 1 o'clock.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 47058, Base PCGS# 2037, Greysheet# 376130)
