<B>1856 1C XF45 PCGS.</B></I> Snow-3. 1856 Flying Eagle cents from this die pairing represent only about 20% of all the varieties bearing this date, according to Rick Snow's series reference. Repunching on the date shows as doubling along the left upright of the 5, and a faint die scratch appears just below the right ribbon end, near the dentils. This is the so-called High Leaves reverse, with the leaves to the left and right of C and T in CENT, respectively, well above the bases of those letters. This example offers almond-tan surfaces that still retain considerable luster, although some fine porosity is noted under a loupe. The highpoints show some grade-consistent wear, of course, but there are no singular abrasions.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
