1856 1C Flying Eagle S-1 PR64 认证号21531550, PCGS号148710

As noted by Rick Snow in his "The Flying Eagle and Indian Cent Attribution Guide", the 1856 S-1 is important as the probable prototype striking of the first small cents. The obverse is that of also the 1856 S-3 specimens, but the reverse is rarely seen. It has been speculated that once the ONE CENT on the reverse was noted to be slightly slanted clockwise, perhaps that die was destroyed. As the finest of the known ten S-1s, this coin displays the typical chocolate brown toning of the variety.

The 1856 Proof indian Cent with the Snow 1 variety is really scarce. Less than a dozen examples are beleived to exist. The reverse of the coin has slight differences from a regular 1856 Proof indian Cent. In the words "One Cent' on the reverse, they are slightly tilted compared to other 1856 Proof Indian Cents. Other differences are also fairly prominent that they can be distinguished with the naked eye.
