Lot Description

1854-O Liberty Head Eagle. Small Date. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-58 (NGC). Satiny deep golden surfaces reveal traces of soft mint luster as the coin dips into a light. Sharply defined over the focal features, and exceptionally smooth in hand, there is much to recommend this coin to astute Southern gold enthusiasts. 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. NGC Census: 25; with a single MS-61 finer. PCGS# 8614. NGC ID: 263H.
