Description
- The Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle was struck from 1850 to 1907
- When these coins were struck in 1850, they were among the first ever Double Eagles struck in US Mint history
- Southern Mint Gold is incredibly hard to come by as most coins were struck for commerce and melted down after being circulated to death
- These key date 1850-O Liberty Head Gold Double Eagles are especially difficult to find due to their low mintage
- Absolute Rarity: Minuscule mintage of only 141,000 coins
- Absolute Rarity describes a coin with such a low mintage that it’s difficult to find in any condition
- Condition Rarity: Only 239 have been graded in XF45 condition with just 216 finer known
- Condition Rarity occurs when few coins survive in a high grade making them difficult to find
