Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR63
Snow-9, In-Demand First-Year Key
1856 1C Snow-9 PR63 NGC. The estimated mintage for this most
collectible 1856 Flying Eagle cent proof variety is 1,500 pieces,
of which about 20% survive in circulated condition. Most others,
like this one, are found in lower proof grades. The suggested
striking period for Snow-9 proofs is late 1857 until about 1860.
Demand from collectors of the period was much higher than the
initial production of first-year patterns could satisfy, requiring
the Mint to issue restrikes. Demand for this key issue remains high
to this day.The present Select representative is typically non-mirrored and satiny, but the squared-off rims and pinpoint strike are unmistakable proof characteristics. Bronze-gold surfaces are deeper in color on the reverse with iridescent accents on the obverse.
