1850 Liberty Head Eagle. Small Date. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.This pretty example displays pale rose highlights to otherwise dominant deep gold patina. Well defined overall with plenty of original satin luster in evidence. The Small Date is by far the scarcer logotype of the 1850 eagle (combined mintage: 291,451 circulation strikes), although this fact is not widely recognized in wider numismatic circles. Uncommonly well preserved and attractive in all regards, our offering of this Choice AU represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute gold enthusiast. The date logotype used for this variety was intended for large cents and half eagles.From the Fairmont Collection.
