1854-O Liberty Head Eagle. Small Date. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.
Deep, rich, vivid, honey-orange color blankets both sides and delivers exceptional eye appeal. The technical quality is also superior, with plenty of mint luster and only small, wispy handling marks. Well struck for an O-Mint gold coin from the early 1850s, the focal features in and around the centers are generally bold. 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 nicest examples that we can ever recall offering.
