- 1856 Flying Eagle Cent. Snow-3. VF-25 (PCGS). An evenly circulated example of what may be the "king" of U.S. small cents; certainly few other dates from 1856 to the present hold the attention-grabbing power of the '56 "Flyer." Medium golden tan with some olive highlights. Careful scrutiny yields no marks of merit, making for a choice specimen within the grade parameters. We note some lightness of strike at the eagle's head and tail feathers, not unusual for the issue; this weakness is frequently seen in Proof examples as well. If there's a glaring hole in your collection where the 1856 Flying Eagle cent belongs, right now represents a golden opportunity to remedy the situation. This date has climbed in both popularity and value almost unabated for the past decade, and we have reason to believe the same holds true for the coming years. Strike now while the iron is hot or rue the day you missed this opportunity.
