Lot 1020
1856 Flying Eagle Cent. PCGS graded Proof 63 PQ. The key date to the small cent series. Approximately 2,000 struck. A well struck example and very choice for the grade, thus our Premium Quality designation. The surfaces are reddish-brown with golden highlights. The eagle's breast feathers are all complete. Its wings are finely detailed. There is an eye; a complete beak and claws; exactly what is expected from a well-made Proof. When it comes to the reverse, this has James Longacre's first "wreath of cereals." Pop 138 (PCGS # 2037) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000.
