1856 1C Flying Eagle S-3 PR65+
PCGS #47058
EEPS. Snow-3. Quite Prooflike. Most likely a very early strike. I consider the purchase of this coin to be a lifetime achievement. One of the nicest I have seen (if not THE nicest). Obverse could be a 67. Planchet impurity is visible on the reverse but does nothing to detract from the beauty of this piece.
1857 1C Flying Eagle PR66
PCGS #2040
EEPS. Die PR-2. Slight cameo contrast. Almost no marks. Easily appreciable as a 66. Mirrors are deep and watery. Extremely nice.
1858 1C Small Letters PR65
PCGS #2043
EEPS. The rare Pr-1 variety. Snow reports 5 known, but I cherry-picked a PR-66 at the Philadelphia ANA in 2017 (?) and unfortunately sold it. Nevertheless, I find this coin to be quite beautiful, boasting deep mirrors, beautiful color and nice contrast, like an Eagle flying against the sky at sunset.
