Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
Snow-3, Struck as a Proof
1856 1C Snow-3 PR65 NGC. Light repunching on the upright of
the 5 in the date provides a key diagnostic for the desirable
Snow-3 variety. S-3 is associated with business strikes made in
1856 for distribution to Washington officials, to demonstrate the
new, smaller diameter cent. However, some Snow-3 pieces were struck
as proofs, and the present coin was among them. Both sides exhibit
a wire rim, and the fields are strongly reflective. This beautiful
example of our first Flying Eagle cent is toned sun-gold and
rose-red.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
