1854 Type I Liberty Head Gold Dollar

Hold a genuine piece of American numismatic history in your hands. 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.

Coin Details

  • Year: 1854
  • Type: Type I – Liberty Head (Small Head)
  • Denomination: $1 Gold Dollar
  • Composition: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
  • Diameter: 13mm
  • Weight: 1.672g

Design

The obverse features the classic small Liberty head portrait facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed with LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars and the date 1854. The reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination 1 DOLLAR and the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Why This Coin Matters

The Type I Gold Dollar was only produced from 1849 to 1854. The 1854 issue is the final year of this design, with production halting mid-year in favor of the larger Type II Indian Princess design. This makes 1854 Type I coins scarcer than many collectors realize — a true treasure for any 19th-century U.S. gold coin collection.

A wonderful addition to any serious numismatic collection or a meaningful gift for the history lover in your life.
