    1854 Liberty Head .50 Gold Coin
    The 1854 Liberty Head .50 Gold Coins were produced in five mints including the Philadelphia, Charlotte (C), Dahlonega (D), New Orleans (O), and San Francisco (S) mints. Philadelphia and New Orleans struck the largest share of these coins. Considering all 1854 gold coins are rare, those struck at the Charlotte, Dahlonega, and San Francisco mints are the rarest in terms of overall availability; these coins were not saved in substantial quantities to begin with, most having later been lost or melted.
    1854 marked the year the San Francisco mint opened, which produced .50 Liberty Heads for certain years from 1854 and onward. Liberty Head .50 Gold Coins are numismatic gold coins that are collected by many who study and appreciate 19th-century coinage. Trying to get coins in the best possible condition, collectors are constantly searching high and low for the most pristine Liberty Head .50 Gold Coins to add to their collection.
