Liberty Double Eagles
1854 $20 Large Date AU53 NGC. Per the Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins: "The Large Date variety of the 1854 double eagle is much rarer than the Small Date. The date size difference is not hugely dramatic, and the coin brings a large premium in any grade." The date logotype was used on silver dollars for that year, and Winter estimates 10% of the original mintage consisted of this variety. This is a bright straw-gold double eagle with remaining luster around the peripheries. The strike is extremely sharp for a Type One twenty despite a trace of friction.
