Old no problem NGC holder. Believed to be S2 variety.

I'll go with high AU. I think I can see some rub, on the wings. Could be wrong, but just my opinion.

Looks like some minimal wear on the eagle's body, so I'd say AU-58 with nice original surfaces and luster.

I will say MS62. Pretty descent luster. These are definitely tough ones to grade.

I will say MS62, that spot on the reverse is a killer! Otherwise a very nice looking coin. I want to see a closer picture of "OF" on the obverse. I'm not seeing the obverse of 56 clearly. Here is mine.

Scratches on holder but maybe this gives enough detail if it is rev of 56 variety.

It OP coin seems to have the 1856 obverse by the looks of the F - the O may have taken a hit and flattened out a little bit.
