Description
1856 Flying Eagle Cent PR63 NGC. Snow-9, identified by the centering dot just left of N in CENT. The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is actually a pattern (Judd-180), but its historic importance and availability resulted in its acceptance into the regular Flying Eagle series at an early date. Due to tremendous collector demand, Mint Director James Ross Snowden ordered restrikes made in 1859, and most proof examples are from this emission. The total estimated proof mintage is on the order of 1,500 pieces. The present coin is an attractive specimen, with sharp striking details and slightly streaky golden-brown toning. Richard Snow considers PR63 or PR64 the optimum combination of quality and value for this issue.From The Boca Collection, Part II.(Registry values: N4719)
