1858 1C Small Letters PR65 Cameo PCGS.
1858 1C Small Letters PR65 Cameo PCGS. The Small Letters variant of the 1858 Flying Eagle cent is believed to have been the work of Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet. At least two die varieties are known for the Small Letters proofs, and this appears to be from the much scarcer PR-1 dies with the High Leaves reverse and missing die file mark at 12 o'clock. The fields show noticeable die striations, which of course, have imparted a reflective sheen on each side. Snow states that "examples seen had medium mirrors with light die striations and some slight weakness, though not enough to remove these from proof status." This piece appears to be atypical for the variety with deeper than expected reflectivity and pinpoint sharpness on the devices. The pale golden-rose surfaces show just a bit of lilac interspersed with a few faint specks of carbon, most of which are only visible with magnification. Population: 5 in 65, 1 finer (10/03).From the Palm Beach Collection. Important notice: 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.
