Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Snow-9, PR64
Flashy Fields With Colorful Accents
1856 1C Snow-9 PR64 PCGS. CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Snow-9
is the typically seen proof variety of the 1856 Flying Eagle cent,
identified by the die line above the I in UNITED and the tine that
extends from the left ribbon end. Rick Snow suggests these key-date
proofs may have been struck between 1857 and 1860 to the extent of
perhaps 1,500 pieces. This example enjoys marvelous visual quality.
The excellent surface preservation displayed throughout is what one
would expect of an even higher-graded representative. Each side
features flashy fields and bronze-gold color that turns to shades
of violet, orange, and powder-blue when rotated. A thin, diagonal
planchet crack extends from the rim between D and S on the obverse
into the field below. Well-deserving of the CAC approval sticker.
Encapsulated in an old green label holder.From The Castle Collection.
