This 1854 Type I Liberty Head Gold Dollar is a remarkable example of early United States gold coinage — struck during a pivotal transitional year before the U.S. Mint introduced the new Type II design later in 1854, making Type I examples from this year particularly sought after by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoin Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1854\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Type I – Liberty Head (Small Head)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDenomination:\u003c\/strong\u003e $1 Gold Dollar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90% Gold, 10% Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.672g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Philadelphia (No Mint Mark)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe obverse features the classic small Liberty head portrait facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed with \u003cem\u003eLIBERTY\u003c\/em\u003e, surrounded by thirteen stars and the date 1854.
