- 1855-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. An exciting find for advanced Southern gold enthusiasts, this minimally circulated half eagle retains overall sharp to full striking detail and plenty of satiny mint luster. Attractively original color in a blend of deep olive and orange-gold adds to the appeal. The rarest of the three low mintage New Orleans Mint half eagles of 1855 to 1857, 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. This issue is a rarity of significant stature at the Choice AU and Mint State grade levels, the present offering an important bidding opportunity for specialists. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 8; 7 finer, four of which are Mint State (all MS-61). CAC Population: 2; 2. PCGS# 8264. NGC ID: 25UT.
