Description
This die trial shows the complete obverse of the Type 1 Liberty Head double eagle. Judd dates it to 1850, as the obverse of Judd-126, while Pollock places it in 1859 with Judd-258; uspatterns notes that the 1850 hub was used, and the I of LIBERTY is punched over a second L. Three are known, two of them in the Library Company of Philadelphia, apparently from different dies. The Liberty Head double eagle was designed by James B. Longacre.
