Description
The 1852 Liberty Head Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Liberty Head Double Eagles 1849-1907 series. The U.S. Mint produced 2.1 million examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 92% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM surrounded by a glory of rays. High mintages at Philadelphia and New Orleans as California gold supplies flooded the mints. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $5.0K to $33K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #8906.
