1856 Flying Eagle Cent. PCGS graded MS-63. Scarce in mint state. Lightly toned. This is perhaps the most desirable grade quality of the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent in that it balances choice quality with affordability. Approximately 700 examples were delivered in 1856 and early 1857 according to Snow. In addition to testing the new coin on a press run, these pieces probably constituted all of the 634 1856 Flying Eagle Cents distributed to Congressmen during the period of debate for what would eventually become the Act of February 21, 1857. This mostly honey-tan representative is free of bothersome handling marks. Carefully preserved with only a few wispy flecks and some isolated striking softness, the coin has what it takes to attract many bidders to the sale. Pop 44; 50 finer. (PCGS # 2013) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
