This example, certified NGC AU-55 and approved by CAC, retains strong overall detail with only moderate wear on the high points. The surfaces show honest circulation consistent with the grade, while the remaining luster gives a clear sense of the coin’s original appearance. CAC approval further underscores the quality and originality within the About Uncirculated range.
From a condition standpoint, the 1856 Double Eagle is elusive in higher grades. NGC reports 102 examples graded AU-55, with 103 finer, while CAC has approved just 28 pieces at this level, with 33 finer. These figures reflect the difficulty of locating well-preserved survivors of this early Philadelphia issue.
