Not Sold Description
Prized Gem Proof 1857 Flying Eagle Cent
1857 1C PR65 NGC. Snow-PR2. Although not generally manufactured to the same degree of quality as coins from the PR1 dies, those of the PR2 variety are certainly among the 50 proof Flying Eagle cents delivered in 1857. The present example is strongly reflective in the fields with full striking definition throughout. The medium-tan surfaces reveal blushes of champagne iridescence at direct angles, and the surfaces are free of singularly mentionable blemishes. The proof Flying Eagle cents of 1857 and 1858 are not as widely publicized as those of the first-year 1856, but they are definitely rarer, which makes the presence of multiple die pairs for the 1857 proofs all the more inexplicable.(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227B, PCGS# 2040, GSID# 15314)
