Description
This is a 1856 PROOF FLYING EAGLE CENT – PCGS PR-64, CAC APPROVED! GORGEOUS, PQ & RARE! One of the quintessential Small Cents to own. From an original mintage of just 1500 coins, these Flying Eagle Cents began an era that is just now coming to an end in 2025, the U.S. small one cent coin. Fully struck, semi-prooflike and free of distractions, this is nicer than the typical, somewhat dull coin one will find in a PR-63 or 64 holder. Vivid fiery orange peripheries with traces of red and blue make this one an “A” on the eye appeal chart. Considering we see asking prices of $15,000-$20,000 for circulated and/or impaired 1856 Flying Eagle Cents, this virtually Gem PCGS & CAC example seems like outstanding value at the current price point. Don’t miss out! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
