1856 1C MS66 PCGS CAC EEPS, Snow-3 Die Variety, Die Stage A. Provenance: Ex Stewart Blay Collection. Esteemed by the legendary collector Stewart Blay as the finest Mint State 1856 Flying Eagle, this exceptional coin boasts remarkable eye appeal, a beauty best appreciated in person (though uploaded photos at least better demonstrate its eye appeal than the cert photo does). It represents a pinnacle of quality, being one of only two Snow-3 examples graded MS66 by PCGS (a third MS66 is attributed to the Snow-5 variety). This significant coin set a record auction price of $343,125 in November 2023 (Great Collections - Nov 12, 2023 - GC Item ID: 1456023), the highest ever achieved for any 1856 Flying Eagle cent, and in fact the highest for any Flying Eagle cent. The Snow-3 die variety, along with the Snow-1, belongs to the "Original Striking" of 1856 Flying Eagles (Snow-5s may also have been part of the Original striking). These Original coins were strategically presented to key figures in the U.S. government to advocate for the passage of the Small Cents Act of 1857. Following the striking of rare Snow-1 Proofs and then the unique "Bluebird" Proof Snow-3 (also Die Stage A), Mint State Snow-3s, including this Die Stage A example, were produced. All known Snow-3 coins (apart from the "Bluebird") exhibit some weakness of strike, typically noticeable on the eagle's breast feathers or the reverse leaves. This coin exhibits some weakness on the breast feathers, which is especially noticeable when comparing its cert with the cert of the “Bluebird” (cert #38725098).

1857 1C MS65+ PCGS EEPS Snow-9 Obv. Clash w/50C,FS-402. Was MS66 NGC (Cert #: 3169246-001) when it was auctioned by Bowers & Merena at the January 2011 Tampa Bay Rarities Sale (lot #102).
1858/7 1C MS65 PCGS EEPS, Snow-1 Die Variety, Die Stage A. Provenance: Ex Doug Wright Collection. This fascinating 1858/7 Flying Eagle cent showcases a notable minting anomaly: the digit "8" in the date is struck over a "7," creating a distinct and collectible variety. This particular example is from Die Stage A of the Snow-1 variety. Of all known 1858/7 Snow-1 cents, only four have achieved a grade of MS65 or higher in Die Stage A. Adding to its desirability, only one of these four finest Die Stage A examples boasts a CAC. This often means collectors seeking a CAC-endorsed 1858/7 Snow-1 must choose between examples designated "Weak" or those of the "Strong" Die Stage B. This MS65 specimen realized $49,200 at auction recently (Heritage - Feb 27, 2024 - lot #3016), having previously sold for $70,500 in 2013 (Heritage - Apr 25, 2013 - lot #4124).
