Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
Low-Mintage Key to This Short Series
1856 1C Snow-9 PR65 PCGS. The Snow-9 variety is the most
frequently encountered die pairing for 1856 Flying Eagle cents.
These coins were produced from late 1857 until 1860. A considerable
(but unknown) number were struck and apparently stockpiled in the
Mint for sale to collectors. Snow speculates that after the start
of the Civil War, sales stagnated, and those pieces that remained
were mistakenly released into circulation. This is a fully original
example whose lustrous surfaces display variegated golden, brown,
and lilac coloration with the reverse being somewhat deeper in hue.
A pleasing, high-grade example of this fabled 19th century rarity.
Population: 52 in 65 (3 in 65+), 4 finer (7/22).Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2004), lot 6012.
