Captivating 1857 Flying Eagle Cent, PR65
1857 1C PR65 NGC. Snow PR-2. Attribution of the three known proof varieties of 1857 Flying Eagle cents can be difficult. Easiest diagnostics for the Snow PR-2 variety are short die lines that connect the right ribbon to the border, and a long, heavy die line that extends up to the left from the upper tip of the left ribbon end. This same reverse die appeared in later die states on 1856 Snow-2 Flying Eagle cents, proving that those coins were restrikes produced in 1857 or later. This wonderful Gem proof has light golden-tan surfaces, pale violet and blue toning at the center of the reverse, bold design details, and fully mirrored fields. A few scattered imperfections are mostly Mint-made and of no concern. Census: 7 in 65, 2 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227B, PCGS# 2040, GSID# 15314)
