<B>1856 1C PR64 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-9. The usual dies for proofs of this coveted and historic issue, and a later state with a slender vertical die crack beneath the tip of the eagle's claw. A chocolate-brown near-Gem with glimpses of peach-gold within the legends and about the devices. Careful inspection with the aid of a loupe locates an infrequent pinpoint carbon fleck, but there are no abrasions or planchet defects. The strike is full, even on the often suspect extremities of the eagle, and on the cotton leaves that on business strikes rarely exhibit full veins. Many collectors still in need of an 1856 Flying Eagle cent have waited for years for the "right" coin to come along, and this mark-free, razor-sharp specimen could be the one.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
