The Fairmont Collection hoard of Pre-33 US Gold Coins is one of the most exciting pieces available to numismatists today.

Each 1854-S $1 Liberty Gold Eagle Coin available here is in AU50 condition according to the PCGS. Coins with this grade have wear patterns that are extremely light and limited to the highest relief points on the coin. Most coins at this grade have medium or near-full mint luster.

Issued in 1854 by the San Francisco Mint, these $10 Liberty Gold Eagles were part of the first year of issue for any type of American coinage at the newly-founded San Francisco branch of the United States Mint. Discovered as part of a hoard of American coins sitting in overseas banks, these Fairmont Collection specimens are a great numismatic piece.

Lady Liberty is on the obverse of the 1854-S Liberty Gold Eagle. This portrait from Christian Gobrecht was the longest-used design on the $10 Liberty Eagle and shows Liberty in left-profile relief wearing a coronet crown and surrounded by a ring of 13 stars. The 1854 date mark is at the bottom of the coin’s design field.

The heraldic eagle is shown in the reverse design of 1854 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle Coins. This design was also created by Gobrecht, the 3^rd Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The image shows a bald eagle in front-facing relief with the US national shield on its chest, its wings spread wide, an olive branch in one talon, and the arrows of war in the other.
