Key Date 1857-O Liberty Head Eagle Rarity 1857-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). Wonderfully original honey-gold surfaces display a tinge of pale olive. Nearly complete frosty luster is noted, and the fields have subtle semi-reflective qualities in the protected areas around some of the design elements. The strike is well executed for the issue with most design elements smartly impressed and sharply to fully rendered. Outstanding Choice About Uncirculated quality from a mintage of just 5,500 pieces. The 1857-O is regarded as the third rarest New Orleans Mint eagle of the No Motto design type after the 1859-O and 1841-O. Mint State coins may be unknown; the James A. Stack specimen that was auctioned as Uncirculated in 1994 has since been certified AU-58 by NGC, and subsequently crossed to PCGS AU-58. A couple of other premium Choice AUs are known, including this newcomer to the Condition Census from the Fairmont Collection's JBR Set. This coin is sure to elicit strong bids from advanced collectors specializing in either Southern gold coinage or the Liberty Head eagle series. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 6; 7 finer (all AU-58). There are also no Mint State examples listed at NGC. PCGS# 8623. NGC ID: 263U. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
