1856-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-53 (NGC).A marvelous example that serves as a fitting complement to the 1854-O and 1879-O double eagles that we are also offering in this sale. Boldly to sharply defined from a well executed strike, both sides also retain ample evidence of a modestly semi-prooflike finish. The fields reveal traces of reflectivity as the coin rotates under a light, especially in the protected areas around and among the design elements. Handsome deep orange patina throughout, the surfaces exhibit relatively few significant marks for a lightly circulated survivor of this rare and conditionally challenging issue.<p>Mirroring the history of the 1854-O, the 1856-O was produced in extremely limited numbers because very little of the bullion mined in California at the time found its way to the New Orleans Mint for double eagle coinage. The San Francisco Mint had first dibs on this precious metal, not surprising given its proximity to the gold fields, while much of the bullion shipped east found its way to the Northeast and the Philadelphia Mint, as opposed to the Deep South and the New Orleans facility. At just 2,250 coins produced, the 1856-O is the lowest mintage double eagle from this Southern coinage facility, barely edging out the 1879-O for this honor. It is the second rarest O-mint twenty after the equally legendary 1854-O, although Doug Winter (2018) provides estimates of 30 to 40 coins extant for both issues. This is a highly desirable AU survivor that will be a great addition to an advanced collection of double eagles or New Orleans Mint coinage.
