 1856 Snow 9. Die Line above I, Center Dot. Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Deep brown-gold surfaces are edged in brighter orange-gold for vivid beauty and undeniable appeal. A very sharply struck example, examination under a glass reveals reverse die rust involving two denticles at 10:00 that ''hallmark'' this specific die. Richard Snow's reverse variety 9 shows a high leaf at 'C', low leaf below 'T' of CENT. This very conservatively graded piece is essentially of Gem quality, making it an ideal example of one of the most coveted coins in the entire realm of American numismatics. PCGS PR64.
