Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent
Choice Proof, Snow-9
1856 1C Snow-9 PR64 PCGS. Sea-green toning dominates this
razor-sharp near-Gem, although glimpses of peach-red outlines
obverse design elements. The eye appeal surpasses the numerical
grade, since the moderately reflective surfaces are free from
detractions. Most 1856 Flying Eagle cents are classified as Snow-3
business strikes or Snow-9 proofs. The former were struck in 1856
to demonstrate the new diameter and design. The numismatic hobby
was booming in America, and soon an 1856 Flying Eagle cent was
considered requisite in every collection. The U.S. Mint met growing
demand for the issue with Snow-9 proof restrikes, coined
circa-1859. Nonetheless, the 1856 remains the rarest date of the
small cent denomination.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 147890, Base PCGS# 2037, Greysheet# 340423)
