Description
Spectacular 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. The 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 has light golden-tan surfaces, with pale violet and blue accents at the center of the reverse. The boldly struck details show moderate contrast against the fully mirrored fields. A few scattered imperfections are mostly Mint-made and of no concern. The 2010 Guide Book estimates only 485 proofs were struck. Census: 5 in 65, 1 finer (7/09).(Registry values: N7079)
