PCGS/CAC AU53 1856-S $5.00

By virtue of its high mintage (105,100), the 1856-S is the single most available No Motto half eagle from San Francisco. It is scarce in properly graded AU55/58, and it is very rare in Uncirculated.

This is a very high-end example with enough luster and body to appear finer than the assigned grade.

Stack’s Bowers sold a PCGS/CAC AU53 example of this issue in 11/2023 for $2,760.

CAC has approved 13 in AU53 with another 24 finer.
