Description click for larger image1524: 1856 1C PR65 PCGS. 1856 1C PR65 PCGS. Snow-9. Although technically a pattern, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent was produced in both proof and business-strike formats, and in quantities that greatly exceed the typical production quantities of patterns from the mid-19th century. At any rate, today the issue is firmly ensconced with the 1877 and 1909-S in the pantheon of avidly sought key-date cents in the Indian and Flying Eagle series. Rick Snow theorizes in his indispensable The Flying Eagle and Indian Cent Attribution Guide (second edition, volume I, 2001) that the die for the Snow-9 1856 Flying Eagles was used "during a long period starting in late 1857 and continuing until 1860." Certainly, as the most commonly found die pairing for the proof 1856s, specimens are encountered in numerous different die states or stages. The present piece shows a bold and rather long die line on the lower left bow of the wreath ribbon on the reverse, and the die line above the I in UNITED is plain. This piece is considerably more attractive than the typical Snow-9, with reddish-orange, lustrous surfaces that have mellowed slightly on the reverse, and there is much eye appeal present. A well-struck and delightful coin, certified in a green-label holder. PCGS has certified only five pieces finer (6/08).From the Estate of Robert R.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
