1854 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Breen-7167. Small Date. Repunched Date. AU-58 (PCGS).Lustrous Choice AU quality with a bold frosty texture to both sides. This is a fully original coin, the surfaces further adorned with rich deep gold patina. Subtle pale rose highlights add further appeal, as does sharp to full striking detail. Although the Small Date logotype accounts for upward of 90% of 1854 double eagles extant, only a tiny fraction of the survivors are examples of the Repunched Date variety offered here. The date was initially entered into the die with a slight slant upward (as seen on struck coins), repunching evident below the flag of the 1 and above the tops of the 5 and 4. There is no repunching discernible on the 8. This is one of the finest examples of the variety that we can ever recall handling, and it represents a significant find for the advanced double eagle enthusiast.From the Fairmont Collection.
