- 1856 Flying Eagle Cent. Snow-9. Proof-8 (PCGS). CAC.
A boldly toned and inviting example awash in warm, even antique golden-copper. The date is sharp, all other design elements are boldly outlined, and the rim is distinct around both sides despite an area of softness along the upper right obverse. Pleasingly smooth in hand for the assigned grade, this is a handsome well-circulated example of a classic key date small cent.
Snow-9 is the most frequently encountered die marriage of this iconic issue, accounting for the vast majority of Proofs struck for collectors from 1856-dated dies circa 1859. The exact striking period for these coins is unknown, and production may have begun as early as 1858 and likely continued into 1860. An ideal collector coin that is certain to attract heavy interest.
Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
PCGS# 147890.
