Lot 28 - 1856 Flying Eagle Cent PCGS PR62
1856 Flying Eagle Cent. Subtle-blue and light tan toned surfaces with reflective fields and frosted motifs. There is a small planchet imperfection in CENT requiring mention as it does distract slightly from what might otherwise be a grade that is 2 points higher. Just the same this is an attractive Proof 62 specimen of what may be the most talked-about and desirable of all small cent issues (rivaled, if at all, by the 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln cent). A truly historic specimen, sharply struck on both sides, with even the finest design elements boldly represented. A tiny raised carbon fleck mark in the field at the final A in AMERICA. An attractive specimen in all regards despite these minor notations, a coin that will enhance virtually any cabinet of Flying Eagle and Indian cents currently being formed. (#2037)
