Additional Description: Struck in 1850 at the Philadelphia Mint, this Liberty Head One Dollar Gold Coin offers a glimpse into the elegance and craftsmanship of early American gold coinage. The obverse features Lady Liberty in classical profile, her hair gracefully bound beneath a coronet inscribed with “Liberty,” surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original states. The reverse presents a heraldic eagle, wings outstretched and clutching arrows and an olive branch, embodying both strength and the aspiration for peace. Believed to be in F or VF condition, the coin shows light to moderate circulation, with the central design elements remaining clear and appreciable.
