Garrett and Guth in their "Encyclopedia Of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" states, "The mintage of 98,188 examples for the 1857 half eagle is on the low side for the Philadelphia Mint issues of the era. This issue is scarce in any grade and very rare in full Mint State." David Akers Auction Analysis "Volume IV, Half Eagles 1795-1929" comments, "The 1857 is a very scarce coin in any condition and it is less often seen than some of the more popular mint marked coins of the 1840' and 1850's." His average grade for the 1857 half eagle is EF-42.

David Akers (1975/88)

The 1857 is a very scarce coin in all any condition and it is less often seen than some of the more popular mint marked coins of the 1840's and 1850's. Although strictly uncirculated coins are occasionally available they are rare and gem quality coins are extremely rare.
