Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
Sharply Struck Snow-9 Restrike
1856 1C Snow-9 PR65 NGC. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent was the
first small cent date. Only a few hundred pieces were struck in
1856, mostly from Snow-3 business dies. That number was
insufficient to meet growing public demand, and the Mint produced
additional specimens in proof format circa 1859, typically from
Snow-9 dies. Those coins typically have sharp strikes and good eye
appeal. The present Gem is a quality proof restrike with
predominantly peach-gold color. The fields and wreath show moderate
steel-gray toning. Devoid of contact, and carbon is minor. A
splendid example of the coveted first-year rarity. Listed among the
100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett.From The Brittany Legacy Collection, Part III.
