1854 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Small Date. AU-58 (PCGS).A pretty example, both sides retain nearly full mint luster to vivid rose-orange surfaces. The mintage for the 1854 is split between the Small Date style represented here and the very rare Large Date style. Some 1,750 to 2,500 pieces is one estimate of the number of circulated survivors for the 1854 Small Date, with the preponderance of those in VF and EF, less frequently in AU. A formidable rarity in Mint State, this premium quality AU-58 represents a significant find for the collector of high grade double eagles.
