Description

The 1854 Liberty Head Double Eagle - Large Date is a Gold Double Eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, belonging to the Liberty Head Double Eagles 1849-1907 series. With a mintage of 757,899, this is a less common issue — ranked 3rd of 4 mint variants by mintage, with 46% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM surrounded by a glory of rays. Three-mint production established. The 1854-O large date is a notable variety. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $6.5K to $82K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #98911.
