Description

1854 Double Eagle, AU58
Scarce Large Date Logotype
Frosty Luster, Coppery Accents

1854 $20 Large Date AU58 NGC. Only about 10% of the original mintage of 1854 double eagles (757,899 coins) was struck with a Large Date. This logotype is also found on 1854 Seated dollars and some New Orleans ten dollar gold pieces for the year. This variety is certainly scarcer than its Small Date counterpart, and examples are seldom seen this nice. Anything finer (in Mint State) is a legitimate rarity.

Softly frosted luster around the devices and wisps of coppery color complement smooth, wheat-gold surfaces. Strike detail is somewhat uneven -- strong in certain places and incomplete in others -- typical for a No Motto product. A couple of ticks and reeding marks are noted on each side. Census: 24 in 58 (2 in 58+), 10 finer (6/21).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268S, PCGS# 98911, Greysheet# 9790)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
