Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR64
Snow-9, Rarest Small Cent Date
1856 1C Snow-9 PR64 PCGS. Rose-red, orange-gold, and
jade-green compete for territory across this fully struck and
luminous near-Gem. A tiny strike-through on the right pendant of
the T in UNITED is as made. Void of spots, and carbon is virtually
absent. One small steel-gray area is seen above the crosslet of the
E in CENT. Although technically a pattern, the 1856 is typically
collected as part of the Flying Eagle cent series. Its historical
importance is unquestioned, not only because it introduced the
small cent denomination, but because demand for examples fueled the
growth of the coin collecting hobby throughout the second half of
the 19th century. Listed among the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins
by Jeff Garrett.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2011), lot 3068; (David Lawrence, 3/2012), lot 7732.
