1856 Snow 3. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$17,000.00 |
Straw-gold surfaces display a blush of amber toning when held at the appropriate angle, lending this well struck coin a wonderful appearance. Fields are smooth and somewhat satiny and do not display the greater reflectivity seen on the Proof Snow 9 offered below. The strike, however, is quite bold, revealing knife sharp rims and more design details than your average business strike... more |

1856 Snow 9. Very Choice Brilliant Proof
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$22,000.00 |
Mirror-like fields sparkle around boldly struck central design motifs, which feature the most intricate details in the eagle's feathers and in the leaves and cereals on the reverse. The play between the medallic central devices and the perfectly smooth fields creates a very powerful impression on the viewer. The surfaces range from pale amber to yellow-gold to golden brown and are framed... more |

1857 Snow PR1. Very Choice Brilliant Proof
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$22,000.00 |
- with the eye appeal of a Gem. When catalogued as lot 147 of an unknown 1950's or 1960's era auction, it was described as ''SUPERB BRILLIANT PROOF. Nicely struck, flawless, golden Proof. A beautiful coin worth far more than the catalogue value of 165.00.'' Needless to say, this coin is worth quite a bit more today, but its beauty has not diminished in the least. Fully frosted and boldly struck eagle... more |

1857 Type of '57. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$3,000.00 |
Here is an absolutely stunning business strike featuring vibrant, golden lustre and a dearth of surface marks. The strike is very strong for the issue, with just a hint of weakness in the eagle's tailfeathers. |

1857 Type of '57. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
VERY CH BU |
$2,400.00 |
- nearly Gem. Glowing mint lustre is still bright and original in its golden hue, with just a hint of ruddy toning giving this coin an added boost. Well struck with strongly delineated eagle feathers and wreath, this specimen should make a wonderful addition to a type or date set. |

1857 Type of '57. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$1,300.00 |
Forcefully struck devices and legends stand out against frosty mint lustre in the fields, which are ablaze in yellow-gold and iridescent toning. |

1858 Large Letters, High Leaves. Snow PR1. Choice Brilliant Proof
|
CH BR PF |
$6,500.00 |
A strike of near perfection has brought out the most intricate details in the flying eagle and wreath designs, which stand out boldly against fully mirrored fields on both sides. Surfaces exhibit splashes of iridescent rose, amber and gold toning, with the golden-brown of the copper-nickel dominating the overall appeal of this rare Proof Flying Eagle Cent. Snow estimates a mintage of... more |

1858 Large Letters, High Leaves. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
GEM BU |
$2,800.00 |
Shimmering, chrome-like fields give this coin the initial impression of full Proof, but closer examination reveals its business strike status. Nevertheless, its boldness of strike, prooflike fields and exquisite golden-rose toning combine to create one of the most eye appealing specimens available of this common date. Some minuscule die cracks are noted around 'ERICA' and the tailfeathers... more |

1858 Large Letters, Low Leaves. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$750.00 |
- with claims to a higher grade. Lovely, straw-gold lustre pays tribute to this original, very attractive coin. A few minor tics and some mellowing of the color on the reverse are all that keep this from a full Gem grade. |
|
3619 |
1858 Small Letters, Low Leaves. Snow PR3 and PT9, Die Pair 3
|
CH BU |
$5,000.00 |
Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, with the initial look of a Proof. This coin is struck from the same dies as Snow's PR3, but with surfaces that are probably just shy of a full Proof. The fields are boldly reflective and prooflike, and the rims are quite sharp. The eagle and wreath are similarly bold, but do show some slight striking weakness at the eagle's breast, a characteristic that... more |

BU |
$600.00 |
- or a bit better. Obverse is a bright yellow-gold, while the reverse is a more subdued rose-gold with hints of yellow. Here is a lustrous example exhibiting tiny cuds from 3:00 to 5:00 along the reverse rim. |

1858 Flying Eagle Pattern. Small Letters, Laurel Wreath with 5 leaf clusters
|
CH BR PF |
$3,000.00 |
Judd 191. Snow PT 14 (Die Pair 2). (R-5 for the type, R-7 for the die pairing). Copper-Nickel, Plain Edge. Choice Brilliant Proof. The obverse is the adopted regular Flying Eagle obverse with Small Letters, while the reverse is similar to the laurel wreath adopted on the 1859 Indian Cents but exhibiting 5 leaf clusters on each side of the bow, rather than 6 as on the regular issue.... more |
