<B>1856<1C> PR65 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-9. The S-9 variety is the most frequently encountered die pairing for 1856 Flying Eagle Cents. These coins were produced from late 1857 until 1860. A considerable (but unknown) number were struck and apparently stockpiled in the mint for sale to collectors. Snow speculates that after the start of the Civil War, sales stagnated, and those pieces that remained were mistakenly released into circulation. This is a fully original example that has lustrous surfaces that display variegated golden, brown, and lilac coloration with the reverse being somewhat deeper in hue. A pleasing, high grade example of this fabled 19th century rarity. Population: 40 in 65, 5 finer (3/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
