<B>1856 1C PR50 NGC.</B></I> Snow-9. Called a proof because it is a proof-only issue, but otherwise it more closely resembles a lightly circulated business strike. Both sides have deep brown color with lighter tan devices. A few tiny surface ticks are evident with a glass. Otherwise, a delightful example that will be a welcome addition to any collection of Flying Eagle cents, circulated, Mint State, or proof.<BR> The 1856 Flying Eagle cents were coined at several different times in late 1856 and in 1857. At the time, Congress was drafting the Mint Act of February 21, 1857, and in the process of redefining certain denominations. The 1856 patterns provided a visual idea of the small cent concept that was soon to become law.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
