Comments:

The inaugural small cent, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent had a mintage of only 1000. The addition of an 1856 cent in any acceptable condition is a prudent buy. The coin has seen steady appreciation over the long term, ditto in recent years. Continued growth is a safe prediction, being that an 1856 Flying Eagle cent is "necessary" to complete a small cent collection, but is available only in extremely small quantities. Buy ONLY from reputable sources, as many 1858 Flying Eagles have been altered to appear as 1856.

The Year This Coin Was Minted...

The nation was careening relentlessly toward dissolution and civil war.  In 1856, a harbinger of events to come was being played out in "Bleeding Kansas", where both sides of the slavery issue clashed over the admission of the Jayhawkers as a free or slave state.

 

Armed combatants poured into the Kansas Territory, determined to influence the outcome.  "Border Ruffians" (right) from Missouri sacked Lawrence in May 1856.  A group of fanatical abolitionists, led by John Brown, retaliated by murdering five pro-slavery settlers in Pottawatomie.

 

James Buchanan was elected the 15th President of the United States in 1856, but could do little to ward off the impending disaster.

 

Also in 1856, the 13.5 ton British Parliament "Big Ben" bell was cast.
