1856 1C Flying Eagle PR (PCGS#2037)

The March 2012 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1856 Flying Eagle Cent. Snow-3. Proof-61 (NGC). Light tan on the obverse with reflective fields that show just a few shallow lines and a thin pin scratch ERICA mentioned for identification purposes. There is a small planchet flake missing from between ST and the reverse shows minor planchet roughness at the center. Sharply struck throughout and with good visual appeal as these are often found with troubling specks or spots, which is not at all the case here. The mintage was not large, perhaps 1,000 or so pieces survive if that. These were quite successful at replacing the Large cents of the period and large numbers of these new Flying Eagle cents were coined in 1857 for that purpose.
