    I would say that honor goes to the J228 in uncirculated. It is listed as an R1 with over 1250 minted and can be purchased in choice bu for under $1000. Of course the 1856 flying eagle cent is also a R1 pattern but the price is 10x higher.

    Interesting, which is rarer and which is more expensive, the 1856 FE or the 1855 FE?

    The red book made the difference.

    The red book, the empty hole in the Raymond albums and the lore around the 1856 all contributed.

    Bowers has a theory that the J228 was really struck for circulation and should be considered a variety, not a pattern. Makes for interesting reading....now if he was just in the business of making albums......image
