1854-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS).

An impressive Condition Census example with overall golden-apricot color and a subtle pinkish toning on both sides. Sharply defined across all elements and fully lustrous in a bright frosty texture. 1854 represents the first year of eagle production at the San Francisco Mint, where 123,826 coins were struck. It would not be until 1879 that a U.S. Mint would once again strike eagles to a greater quantity and, as a result, the 1854-S issue remains relatively available overall in today's market. However, Uncirculated example are incredibly rare, as the vast majority of this mintage was subject to extensive circulation through the American West. PCGS CoinFacts suggests that as few as four distinct Mint State examples remain, emphasizing the significance of this offering for advanced Liberty Head gold enthusiasts.
