Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
Snow-3, Eagle Eye Photo Seal
1856 1C Snow-3 PR65 NGC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, card not
included. Although designated as a proof by NGC, Snow-3 is the die
pair most often associated with the 634 pieces struck in 1856 for
distribution to Washington officials. Those coins were business
strikes per Rick Snow, although he also believes additional
examples were struck in proof format. A majority of Snow-3 cents
show evidence of circulation, but the present satiny Gem is
mark-free, fully struck, and nearly devoid of carbon. A trace of
flan granularity, as made, is noted near the eagle's head and
wingtip. Both sides display a partial wire rim. An outstanding Gem
that would provide the cornerstone of any collection of small
cents.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2016), lot 3017, where it brought $42,300.
