- Low Mintage 1856-O Half Eagle Tied for Finest Certified with CAC Approval 1856-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This is a sharply defined, lustrous near-Mint 1856-O half eagle with much of the original satin to softly frosted finish remaining. Some modest semi-reflective qualities can be seem in the fields and are very attractive. Sharply struck in most areas with wonderfully original color in deep honey-gold. 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). Far superior to the typically offered VF or EF survivor, the present example would serve as a highlight in an advanced Southern gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 8; 3 finer (MS-61 finest). CAC Population: 2; 0. PCGS# 8269. NGC ID: 25UY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
