Description
1854 Liberty Double Eagle, MS62
Popular Small Date Variant
1854 $20 Small Date MS62 PCGS. The 1854 Liberty double eagle
claims a substantial business strike mintage of 757,899 pieces,
with two major die varieties known for the date (and a few less
obvious minor varieties, as well). This coin represents the more
available Small Date variety, with smaller numerals in the date and
the date placed lower than its Large Date counterpart. The 1854 was
produced in large numbers, but the issue was heavily circulated in
the 19th century. Like most early double eagles, the 1854 can be
located in lower circulated grades with little difficulty, but Mint
State coins are rare. Unlike some other Type One issues, the 1854
was not heavily represented in recent shipwreck finds, but 19
examples were recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Central
America, and 12 specimens surfaced in the Baltimore Hoard.The present MS62 example offers sharply detailed design elements, with full star radials and fine definition on Liberty's hair. The orange-gold surfaces show numerous grade-consistent contact marks, mostly on the obverse, with radiant mint luster and strong eye appeal. Population: 9 in 62, 3 finer (10/25).(Registry values: N7079)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268P, PCGS# 8911, Greysheet# 9789)
Weight: 33.44 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
