Lot Description

1850 Liberty Head Eagle. Small Date. AU-50 (PCGS). This pretty example displays rich honey-olive color throughout. Well defined overall with traces of original frosty luster. The Small Date is by far the scarcer logotype of the 1850 eagle (combined mintage: 291,451 circulation strikes), although this fact is not widely recognized. Very well preserved and attractive, our offering of this AU-50 is a significant bidding opportunity for the astute gold enthusiast. The date logotype used for this variety was intended for large cents and half eagles. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8604. NGC ID: 2638.
