1856 Snow-9 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65+
Sought-After CAC Representative

1856 1C Snow-9 PR65+ PCGS. CAC. Snow-9 is the typical variety encountered among proof 1856 Flying Eagle cents. Its availability, though, does not lessen its appeal to collectors, most of whom simply want a single, attractive example of this key date. The Snow-9 variety fills that need beautifully. The variety is also conditionally scarce at the Gem grade level, and it is rare finer. Most 1856 Flying Eagle cents grade no finer than PR64. Gems are seldom seen. This high-end Gem example is CAC endorsed, earning it high technical marks that complement its strong visual appeal. It is also one of just four pieces in this grade with a Plus designation at PCGS, placing just outside the Condition Census. Well-struck tailfeathers and modestly reflective fields join rich tan-gold color on each side. Population (all varieties included): 63 in 65 (4 in 65+), 7 finer (8/20).
