Description
1856 S-9 Flying Eagle Cent, PR64
Seldom Seen Finer
1856 1C Snow-9 PR64 PCGS. The Act of February 21, 1857,
introduced the copper-nickel Flying Eagle cent and was intended to
end the legal tender status of Spanish and Mexican coinage for
strictly the U.S. decimal system coinage. The current Snow-9 piece
is within obverse Die Stage C, while the reverse is an earlier Die
Stage B. Just 2,000 to 3,000 1856 Flying cents were minted, mostly
Snow-9 proof restrikes between 1857 and 1860; a plethora entered
circulation, diminishing what examples remained in high grade. This
boldly struck example displays brass luster with light notes of
deepening oak tones. The planchet flaw denoted is along the right
side of the ribbon, but proves to be non-intrusive to the appeal.
Listed among the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 147890, Base PCGS# 2037, Greysheet# 340423)
