Delightful 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 of greater rarity, which makes the
presence of multiple die pairs for the 1857 proofs all the more
intriguing.(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227B, PCGS# 2040, GSID# 15314)
