<B>1856 1C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-3. Although Snow-3 is associated with business strikes, the present piece has an exquisite strike, lacks any indication of strike doubling, and has mildly reflective fields. The vast majority of 1856 Flying Eagle cents are examples of the proof Snow-9. Prooflike Snow-3 pieces are rare. But any representative of this issue is desirable, as it was the first date of the first small cent type. More than any other issue, the 1856 launched American numismatics, as collectors scrambled to hoard examples. The present near-Gem is toned golden-brown and sea-green with splendidly smooth surfaces. Contact is limited to a couple of trivial, hair-thin marks near the CE in CENT. Certified in a green label holder. Population: 34 in 64, 16 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
