Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR63
Snow-3, Original Striking
1856 1C Snow-3 PR63 PCGS. Though this coin is designated as
a proof by PCGS, the Snow-3 variety is associated with original
business strikes from 1856. Examples were given to Washington
officials to demonstrate the new small cent. Many ended up in
circulation, especially once 1857 and 1858 cents became plentiful.
A majority of 1856 cents are Snow-9 proof restrikes, made
circa-1859 to take advantage of the growing collector demand for
the rare and historically significant issue. The present specimen
was never spent and has acquired medium gold, olive, and gunmetal
toning. The strike is crisp and the virtually unabraded fields are
somewhat subdued. A partial wire rim is present on both sides. A
lint mark resembling a sine wave on the eagle's leg provides an
identifier.Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 12/2013), lot 3513.
