<B>1856 1C PR65 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-9. The Snow-9 die pairing was used to coin the vast majority of 1856-dated proof Flying Eagle cents. On the obverse there is a short die line from the rim to the top of the I in UNITED, and a die line through the forepart of the eagle's wing. On the reverse, a tiny die gouge appears near the lower left part of the bow. Although PCGS does not designate color (Red, Red and Brown, Brown) on the 1856-58 Flying Eagle cents, this piece shows considerable mint red in the protected areas around the devices, sufficient to garner a Red and Brown designation. This piece is well-struck and distraction-free, with attractive, predominantly olive-brown surfaces with golden highpoints. Population: 46 in 65, 5 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
