1854-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. Small Date. EF-40 (PCGS). Deep honey-gold patina yields to iridescent steely-blue highlights at the borders. Well defined over the central design elements with faint traces of original luster evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. The 1854-O eagle was produced to the extent of just 52,000 pieces, survivors displaying either a Small Date or Large Date logotype. The former is scarce in AU and rare in Mint State, this being one of the higher grade examples that we have offered in recent sales. From our (Stacks) Cincinnati Art Museum Collection sale, June 1977, lot 1041. Lot tag included.
