Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR66
Snow-9, High-Quality Proof
1856 1C Snow-9 PR66 NGC. A magnificent Premium Gem of this
historic issue. The cumbersome large cents were targeted for
replacement by the mid-1850s. Several pattern varieties of
intermediate diameter were succeeded by Longacre's 1856 Flying
Eagle small cent. The few hundred pieces struck in 1856 for
demonstration purposes were not enough to satisfy growing
numismatic demand, and the issue was restruck in proof format
circa-1859. Most high-grade examples are from Snow-9 dies. On the
present piece, the olive-green and butter-gold surfaces are fully
struck and virtually devoid of detractions. The fields are flashy
for the proof issue, and the eye appeal is exceptional.Ex: E.B. Strickland Collection / FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2018), lot 4753; Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2023), lot 3018.
