- An extremely RARE Proof example of this short lived and historically important type. The Flying Eagle cent was the first small cent type, struck only from 1856 to 1858. While the 1856 is clearly the rarest date, any Proof example of this type is a numismatic treasure for the collector. While the "typical" example is graded PR64, this one is much more attractive than your typical example. Ultra flashy, brilliantly reflective surfaces stand out from around razor sharp devices. The design elements stand out with a brighter shade of copper-nickel gold, while the fields have a dusting of steely, pastel blue hues. A minor scuff in the field over 57 in the date will forever serve to identify this marvelous rarity. Only 485 Proofs were struck. PCGS 22, NGC 16, CAC 11. While the most recent example sold in September 2019 for $8,100, prior to that, the only other PCGS/CAC example to sell brought $14,100 in October 2012. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $11,000 and keep in mind that a PCGS/CAC PR65 will cost between $35,000 and $40,000. Seems like a great value play here! Cert.
