1856 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle NGC AU-58 CAC

Category: $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle
Wire/ACH/Check/Zelle Price
CAC. The 1856 Philadelphia Mint $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle, graded in nearly uncirculated condition and further endorsed by CAC, is a striking example of a coin far scarcer than its mintage of 197,990 would imply. This Choice AU specimen boasts well-defined design elements, with exceptionally sharp peripheral details, complemented by vibrant mint luster on its yellow and rose-gold surfaces. Minor contact marks are present, but they do little to detract from the coin’s outstanding eye appeal, making it a standout for collectors seeking quality examples of this underrated issue.


Despite its substantial mintage, the 1856 Philadlephia mint Half Eagle is challenging to locate in nearly uncirculated or better condition, as many examples succumbed to heavy circulation or were melted down. The CAC endorsement further elevates this coin’s desirability, confirming its superior quality and condition for the grade. Its combination of sharp detail, lustrous surfaces, and minimal wear positions it as a premium piece for numismatists focused on Philadelphia Mint gold or high-grade Liberty Head half eagles, offering both historical significance and visual allure.
