<B>1856 1C PR64 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-9. The usual diagnostics for Snow-9 are faintly visible, namely the small die lines from the rim to the top of I in UNITED and through the eagle's forewing. What is unusual about this piece is its appeal. Many examples of this die pairing, likely due to the extremely large production for a proof emission (most Mint proof mintages were under 100 coins), were sloppily produced. This piece shows a bold strike with full articulation throughout the eagle's feathers and date, but the planchet is ever so slightly off-center. The surfaces are a lovely golden-tan. A small dark spot near the left ribbon end on the reverse determines the final grade, but much appeal is present. Certified in a green-label holder.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
