1857-O $5

Description

PCGS 1857-O AU 50. A rare date in all grades, the '57-O is extremely elusive better than XF. We handle a fair amount of rare gold through our auctions and while we have sold four XF pieces in the past year and a half, this is the first AU. In that condition, the '57-O is considered a mid to high R.7 with an estimated 6-7 pieces believed extant. This is a sharply struck coin with strong details both on the hair curls as well as the eagle's leg. Small, but numerous, abrasions are sprinkled across both sides and there is a pronounced reddish tinge within and surrounding the obverse devices.
