- 1855-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. A lovely honey-gold example of this key date entry in the New Orleans Mint half eagle series. The remaining detail is bold overall with considerable sharpness in the recessed areas of the design. Pleasingly smooth in hand, especially on the obverse, our offering of this premium quality example represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced Southern gold collector. The rarest of the three low mintage New Orleans Mint half eagles of the 1855 to 1857 era, the 1855-O has a mintage of just 11,100 pieces. Survivors are thought to number no more than 100 or so coins in all grades. Since this issue becomes a rarity of some stature at the AU grade level, this richly original and premium quality Choice EF represents the finest realistically obtainable for most numismatists. PCGS# 8264. NGC ID: 25UT. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
