- 1857-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. Pretty deep honey-gold and olive surfaces are richly original in preservation. Plenty of mint luster remains, and the texture is frosty and undisturbed by troublesome marks. Bold striking detail enhances the desirability of this thoroughly PQ 1857-O half eagle. This issue is the last in the trio of rare New Orleans Mint fives that commenced with the 1855-O. Although not quite as rare as either the 1855-O or 1856-O, the 1857-O is more challenging to locate in high grades (AU and Mint State). Astute Liberty Head or Southern gold enthusiasts would be hard pressed to find a nicer About Uncirculated survivor than the Fairmont Collection specimen offered here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 7; 34 finer, just three of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 7 in all AU grades; 1 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 8274. NGC ID: 25V5. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
