Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR63
Snow-3, Scarce First-Year Type
1856 1C Snow-3 PR63 NGC. The 5 in the date is repunched, as
is the E in CENT. According to Snow, this variety represents
approximately 20% of the of all 1856 Flying Eagle cents seen.
Additionally, based on the the certified population data it is
probable that this variety makes up the 634 coins distributed to
Congressman for their approval. There is also debate as to whether
or not the coins were struck as proofs or circulation strikes,
understandable given the mixture of proof and Mint State qualities
featured on this Select representative. The surfaces exhibit
golden-brown color primarily with interspersed accents of
copper-orange, especially in the protected regions. The devices are
sharply detailed, and scattered marks do not detract. A thin line
of prooflike reflectivity surrounds the eagle and graces the upper
obverse margin. All in all, a Select example of this important
first-year type.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2014), lot 3016.
