Lot 501
1856 Flying Eagle Cent. PCGS graded Proof 62. Well struck and toned, with a minor planchet flaw under eagle. A choice Proof example with layers of faint gold, rose, and dusky violet-gray on both sides. Absolutely fully struck, the way you like it, with no indication of weakness, nor are there any marks, the the aforesaid minor imperfection (as made). The toning is here and there uneven, but that is okay in a Proof 62 specimen of this rarity. Collectors will look with interest at the artistic design of the flying eagle cent; economizing on speech, we'll just say it is as pretty as its picture (PCGS # 2037) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000.
