    Description

    1857 No Motto, Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle
    PCGS graded MS62
    PCGS/NGC graded population 703 (including resubmissions)
    Mintage 98,180
    PCGS suggests the Mint State (MS60 or better) population is only 30.
    Garrett and Guth in their "Encyclopedia Of U.S. Gold Coins" describe the 1857 as "scarce in any grade and very rare in full Mint State. Choice examples are seldom seen."
    David Akers' auction analysis "Volume IV" (1979) states, "The 1857 is a very scarce coin in any condition and it is less often seen than some of the more popular mint marked coins of the 1840's and 1850's. Although strictly uncirculated coins are occasionally available they are rare and gem quality coins are extremely rare."
