1854-D $1 Gold Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Well struck with some obverse clash marks as minted. Only 2,935 minted. Pop 7, 10 finer. A lustrous, well struck example with exquisite detain in Liberty's hair plus full stars. Some shallow ghosting around the portrait is from die clash with the reverse; these are faint traces of the wreath impressed into the obverse die. There is a tiny mark above the tip of the coronet. 1854-D is a key date in the short-lived Liberty head Type struck 1849-54. Catalogers always play up its low mintage, which is understandable. Furthermore, a coin of this caliber and with this sharpness provided complete happiness to anyone astute enough to acquire it (PCGS # 7526) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
