1856 Proof Set with Gold

The Flying Eagle cent of 1856 is probably the best known Proof of this year, being coined in fairly large numbers as examples to be distributed among lawmakers. Although strictly a pattern, it is included as it has long been collected as a regular issue. The remaining silver coins are represented by probably several dozen examples of each.. As far as the gold coins are concerned, only a handful of examples exist of the smaller denominations ($1, $2.50 and $3.00) but none of the higher denominations have surfaced, but have been rumored to exist.
