Collectors were unlikely to place such pieces into circulation. Indeed, the majority of well circulated 1856 Flying Eagle cents are Snow-3. It is possible that the present example is an original rather than a post-1856 restrike, since, as Snow states, "the reverse die is one of the two original dies." An evenly circulated tan-brown cent with four thin marks, three of which are within the wreath. In a green label holder.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
