Description
1854 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Large Date. AU-55 (PCGS).
It is not often that we have the opportunity to present multiple high grade examples of this normally elusive Type I double eagle variety in the same sale. The present lot highlights a bold Choice AU survivor. Most design elements are sharply defined, in fact, and much frosty luster remains. Wispy handling marks include a minor obverse rim bruise below the digit 4 in the date, which we mention solely for accuracy, especially since it is not readily evident at all viewing angles. With pale reddish-rose iridescence enlivening otherwise warm honey-gold surfaces, this is a handsome coin fit for inclusion in an advanced collection of Liberty Head $20s.
PCGS# 98911. NGC ID: 268S.
Estimate: $12000
