Description

About Uncirculated 1856-O Half Eagle

1856-O $5 AU 50 NGC. With an estimated population of 55-60 coins, the 1856-O is equally as rare as the 1857-O and more difficult to locate than the 1855-O. The typical surviving '56-O half eagle grades VF with heavily abraded surfaces. Although not distraction-free, this coin exhibits relatively few abrasions for the issue. The amount of remaining definition is also noteworthy, and all features are sharp despite light rub across the highpoints. A conditionally rare offering for the circulated gold collector.
