1856 1C Flying Eagle PR67 Certification #31986427, PCGS #2037

Owner's Comments

True 1856 Proof gems are rare, and this fabulous specimen is a strong contender for the finest known with serious “+” potential. Exhibiting a needle-sharp strike and amazingly pristine surfaces, this lovely cent has a beauty and naturalness to it lacking in most of the surviving examples. Both sides are evenly toned to a charming honey-mustard color, with a hint of rich magenta around the reverse boarder. A stunning, understated coin.
