Lot Description

1850 Liberty Head Eagle. Large Date. AU-53 (PCGS). A lustrous deep orange-olive example that is sharply struck over most design elements. The Philadelphia Mint delivered 291,451 ten-dollar gold pieces in 1850 utilizing both Small Date and Large Date logotypes in the die preparation process. The Large Date is the more available variety, although the issue as a whole is conditionally challenging and exceedingly rare in Mint State. Of the three 1850 Large Date eagles in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, the highest graded is an AU-58. This is one of the nicer pieces that we have handled in recent years, and its offering represents an important opportunity for advanced gold enthusiasts.
