This 1856 Flying Eagle Cent is attributed to the exceedingly rare Snow-1 variety, distinguished by its iconic “Tilted ONE CENT” reverse. Representing the very first die-trial prototype of the Flying Eagle cent series, this pairing is produced of the earliest strikes of 1856. Fewer than a dozen examples are confirmed today—including two long considered lost—and only four certified pieces are graded equal or higher. A PR64 example sold for $100,000 3 years ago in the Doug Wright sale and now in the Aurelian Acquisitions set. Meanwhile, the PR58 sold over a decade ago for $35,000. This example bears the Eagle Eye Photo Seal and CAC approval and combines technical importance with undeniable visual appeal. The fields are mirrored beneath a rich chocolate-brown surface. This characteristic warm coppery tone is seen on all genuine Snow‑1 coins, counter to earlier speculation by Walter Breen (1977) that these were pure copper—a theory disproven in all but one known specimen. The surfaces exhibit two small, well-settled contact marks—one near the \u003cem\u003eO\u003c\/em\u003e in \u003cem\u003eOF\u003c\/em\u003e and another beneath the \u003cem\u003eN\u003c\/em\u003e in \u003cem\u003eCENT\u003c\/em\u003e—which account for the assigned grade, with natural toning layered into these areas. A diagnostic die rotation causes the eagle to appear ascending - the only for the type. A truly unique attribute when the reverse wreath is held level - a mesmerizing sight, as can be seen in the obverse holder image. The unique Tilted ONE CENT legend resulted from an error at the master-die stage, creating a minting anomaly that was permanently retired after this limited use. This Snow‑1 offers an extraordinary opportunity for advanced collectors to secure one of the rarest and most historically important 1856 Flying Eagle cents known.

Highly undervalued b\u003c\/span\u003ey any measure, the 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Snow-2 variety, PCGS PR64, stands as an elite rarity within American numismatics. The Snow-2 attribution is easily identified by several defining diagnostics, most notably the die line or \"tail\" extending from the base of the \"U\" in UNITED, along with a boldly punched first digit in the date that stands high in relation to the adjacent \"856,\" and the presence of a high leaves reverse design. This example offers deeply reflective proof mirrors, particularly vibrant on the obverse, which radiates a rich, golden-bronze hue enhanced by soft, iridescent overtones. The zoom in imaging highlights small spots across the surfaces—a feature that, while visible in magnified photography, appears not as noticeable under natural light or standard viewing conditions which can also be seen in the second pair of imaging. While the PCGS population report this example as the single finest, there is one other PR64 CAM which sold for over $50,000 in 2021\/2022, before the publication and awareness of the actual rarities. The surfaces retain crisp, reflectivity and present with richly original toning. The obverse and reverse is adorned in a dynamic blend of golden-bronze and fiery amber, with copper-orange radiating through the central fields, accented by a halo of violet-blue and steely lilac.

This particular example resides within the mid-die state of the Snow-3 progression and is among the earliest strikes following the polishing of the dies, evidenced by the presence of distinct vertical die polishing lines on the reverse—a unique diagnostic not observed other S-3 specimens. The devices showcase pronounced cameo contrast against deeply mirrored fields, the result of highly polished dies, lending the coin a prooflike appearance though not designated. The assigned grade of PR64 accounts for a few light marks—amplified by the reflective fields—the piece delivers the eye appeal and technical quality of a true Gem Proof. While Snow-3 is among the more available varieties, it remains far scarcer than the frequently encountered Snow-9, with few surviving in high-grade proof format. Rick Snow’s commentary from 2001 underscores the significance of this piece, noting that only rarely does this die pairing exhibit such prooflike surfaces and strong strike characteristics—suggesting that a small pre-production run of proofs may have been struck, making true proof S-3s a statistical anomaly. While the obverse glows with rich golden-bronze luster, accented by copper-rose, amber-orange, and lilac-violet highlights, and the reverse features a silvery-golden foundation with peach-apricot and coppery-rose hues complemented by delicate lavender, mauve, and powder-blue accents. Razor-sharp definition, glassy mirrored fields, and light natural spotting—all indicative of originality—complete the presentation. With PCGS reporting just seven examples graded PR64 for the Snow-3 variety and none finer, and no recorded CAC-approved sales for this, the offering stands as a significant opportunity for advanced collectors seeking a top-tier example of this historically important issue.

While around 1,500 proofs were struck across all 1856 varieties, over 99% employed the standard \u003ci\u003eHigh Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e reverse, making this \u003ci\u003eLow Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e pairing an extraordinary anomaly in U.S. numismatic history. The defining diagnostic is the presence of short, stubby inner leaves near the \u003ci\u003eC\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eT\u003c\/i\u003e in \u003ci\u003eCENT\u003c\/i\u003e, in contrast to the longer leaves characteristic of the standard design.

The obverse displays a soft golden‑apricot tone with a peripheral glow of bronze‑gold and cinnamon‑orange, accented by subtle iridescence in lavender, pale rose, and blue around the legends. The eagle’s frosted devices stand out against the moderately prooflike fields. The reverse features a peach‑silver center framed by amber‑gold and honey‑tan hues, with glints of powder‑blue and soft violet highlighting the inner wreath. The strike is razor‑sharp throughout, revealing full feather and wreath detail, and the surfaces remain well‑preserved. No auction record exists for a PR63+ CAC example.

Pop 1\/0 Finest Example. This remarkable 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, attributed to the elusive Snow-5 variety, is struck from the original proof die pair. Bearing the Eagle Eye Photo Seal as well as CAC, and pedigreed to the distinguished Wright Flyer Collection, it combines elite technical quality with distinguished provenance. The Snow-5 variety, believed to have been produced during the earliest presentation striking period of the Flying Eagle cent, is seen through a prominent mint-made point beneath the “U” in \u003ci\u003eUNITED\u003c\/i\u003e and a centering dot below the upper-left serif of the “N” in \u003ci\u003eCENT\u003c\/i\u003e—diagnostic features first documented by Rick Snow in 1992. This example represents the first state of use for both obverse and reverse dies, which were later repurposed for Snow-2, -4, -6, -7, -8, and -9 varieties. With just an estimated 15, these early strikes are thought to have been special presentation pieces. The coin is preserved at an extraordinary Superb Gem Proof level, with deeply mirrored fields and surfaces that approach PR66 quality. A single, minor contact mark above the \u003ci\u003eON\u003c\/i\u003e in \u003ci\u003eONE\u003c\/i\u003e on the reverse is the only notable imperfections, attesting to its originality. The dies display pronounced polish and heavy striations—hallmarks of early preparation and limited use. Visually, the piece offers rich aesthetic appeal: the obverse glows with a warm coppery-brown base accented by reddish-bronze and cinnamon-red at the periphery, while soft peach-gold iridescence highlights the eagle’s wings. The reverse complements this with golden-bronze surfaces infused with russet-orange and apricot highlights around the wreath and ribbon under angled light. Subtle cameo contrast graces the fields, which exhibit a semi-satiny texture and full strike revealing intricate feather and wreath details. Combining finest-known status, superb technical preservation, and pedigree, this offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire the highest-certified and arguably most important example of the Snow-5 variety—an exceptional presentation piece from the earliest proof strikings of the Flying Eagle cent series.

Safe to say we know what we are talking about. And in 2016 a choice example sold for $88,125 01\/16 HA. This coin blows the other two examples( the only other 2 CAC PR66 across all varieties) by a mile. Whilst one or two are graded higher, this coin is long considered the second finest after the only 1 CAC finer Simpson PR67+ PCGS CAC that sold for $312,000 11\/24 HA.

This specimen radiates with golden-apricot reflectivity and sharply struck, satiny devices, blending softly mirrored fields with frosted design elements—hallmarks of premium early Mint craftsmanship. The surfaces remain remarkably well-preserved, with only trivial contact marks and light, grade-appropriate flecking that attest to its originality and careful handling over time. Distinguished by its Small Letters reverse, identifiable by the noticeable separation between the bases of the \"AM\" in \"AMERICA\" and lower relief across the entire design, this variant represents an important die modification likely executed by Assistant Engraver Anthony C. Paquet, whose lettering style aligns with that seen on the 1859 Snowden Mint medal. Despite its critical role in the evolution of the Flying Eagle series, the Proof 1858 Small Letters issue has long been overshadowed by the more widely publicized 1856 Proof cents—though considerably rarer both in absolute numbers and in high-grade preservation. With fewer than 60 examples believed to survive across all grades today, making this offering an elusive prize for advanced numismatists. This particular piece is believed to have originated as part of the Mint's limited production of 12-piece Proof pattern sets issued in 1858, with roughly 75 to 100 sets struck, underscoring its role in the transitional narrative between pattern experimentation and official proof coinage. Both Snow and Q. David Bowers suggest that the Small Letters reverse may have been initially developed as a pattern, later approved for limited proof production following successful testing and acceptance. The aesthetic appeal of this piece is equally compelling, with the obverse glowing in buttery-gold and pale copper tones, enriched by bronze-gold and honey-tan along the periphery, and accented by subtle peach and apricot iridescence under light rotation. The reverse continues the harmony of color with a pale golden-tan field, layered with soft copper-gold and russet highlights, and a delicate halo of bronze-tan and honey-brown framing the denticles. Both sides display a semi-satiny reflectivity that enhances the visual depth with some proof-like qualities, while the devices rise crisply from the fields, showcasing razor-sharp articulation.

Hailing from the prestigious Wright Flyer Collection, this remarkable Gem Cameo Proof showcases deep, jet-black mirrored fields contrasted by a fully frosted, sharply struck eagle — a presentation so bold that the central motif appears to glide gracefully across a reflective, nighttime sky ( as can be seen clearly on the obverse holder image). The surfaces are pristine, with preservation of the highest order, showing only faint lint marks typical of the era and no notable imperfections under magnification. The 1857 Proof Flying Eagle Cent holds a key position in the series, tied with the 1858 Large Letters as the rarest proof issue of the type. According to renowned expert Ron Guth, the 1857 proof is substantially rarer than the more celebrated 1856, with PCGS census figures as of 2011 listing just 59 certified examples—a stark contrast to the more than 700 proofs reported for the 1856 ( except of course from some of the low mintage 1856 varieties) The estimated original mintage of approximately 485 pieces suggests a limited production run, with far fewer known survivors in cameo designation. Struck from fresh, polished dies at an early proof die state, this Snow-PR die marriage delivers the exceptional depth of field and high-relief cameo contrast that define the best of the series. Only five examples are graded higher across all services, placing this offering firmly within the upper echelon of known survivors. The coin’s color and surface texture underscore its superb eye appeal: the obverse shines with a warm golden-champagne glow, enriched by peach, pale copper, and rose-bronze highlights, with faint iridescent flashes of violet and powder-blue adding vibrancy under angled light. The eagle’s frost stands boldly against the mirrored fields, delivering the classic cameo contrast so coveted by proof enthusiasts. The reverse continues this theme, with a pale golden-tan backdrop, accented by russet-orange and soft copper tones, framed by a delicate bronze-gold and honey-brown halo. Subtle reflections of peach-gold and faint rose shimmer within the recesses of the bow and wreath, enhancing the presentation's depth and texture. Exceptional strike quality brings full articulation to every element—from the eagle’s plumage to the finely detailed cotton bolls, corn husks, and ribbon on the reverse. The immaculate surfaces exhibit semi-satiny reflectivity, reinforcing the originality of this early proof striking and offering visual drama from every angle. Widely recognized as one of the most visually stunning and technically superior examples of the 1857 proof issue, this cameo-designated Gem represents a premier acquisition opportunity for the discerning numismatist. We thought this coin would have graded higher, but safe to say that currently CAMEO designated proof Flying Eagle Pennies are incredibly hot and here is a knock out opportunity.PCGS Graded, CAC Approved \u0026amp; Eagle Eye Photo Sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePedigree\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScreaming Eagles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eex Wright Flyer Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/58619545\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePCGS Cert Verification #58619545\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PCGS Price Guide -$47,500\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS POP - 1\/5\u003cbr\u003e• CAC POP - 4 Finer\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS Coin# \u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/coinfacts\/coin\/detail\/82040\/64\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e82040\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eParadime Coins collects Sales Tax when applicable.
