- 1856-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. This is a sharply defined Choice EF 1856-O half eagle with traces of the original frosty finish remaining. Sharply struck in most areas with wonderfully original color in deep honey-olive and orange-rose. With just 10,000 pieces produced, the 1856-O is tied with the 1892-O as having the lowest mintage in the New Orleans Mint half eagle series. This issue is similar in rarity to the 1855-O with an extant population of only 90 to 110 coins (per Doug Winter, 2020). Superior to the typically offered VF or EF-40 survivor, the present example would serve as a highlight in an advanced Southern gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. CAC Population: 2; 5. To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here. PCGS# 8269. NGC ID: 25UY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
