Description

1856 1C Snow-9 PR63 PCGS. CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. A tine off the left ribbon end and thin die line in the forward part of the eagle's wing serve as ready die markers for Snow-9. This variety is the most often seen of the various 1856 Flying Eagle cents, as it was produced in somewhat significant numbers during the restrike period from late 1857 until 1860. Some examples of Snow-9 are quite attractive, even in low numeric grades. The present coin displays satiny surfaces cast in deep amber-gold patina, with sharp definition throughout the wreath and tailfeathers. Minor marks define the grade.
