<B>1856 1C PR64 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-9. Fire-red adorns this pleasing key date cent, along with glimpses of orange and apple-green. The strike is unimprovably sharp, since the shading on the corn husks and the veins of the cotton leaves show complete detail. The denticles are sharply squared off, as expected of a proof striking. The flashy fields are nearly devoid of carbon and contact. A faint lamination beneath the upper wingtip provides an identifier for any future auction appearances. For the past 150 years, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent has been considered the stepping stone to an advanced collection of U.S. coinage.<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
