The Liberty Head gold coin had an extremely large face value for its time and was not as widely circulated as other coins from the same time period. These spectacular coins were minted from 1838 to 1907 and every one of them is now over 100 years old. Today, since they have become increasingly difficult to find, collectors are eager to get their hands on them.

Obverse: Gracing the front of this stunning coin is Christian Gobrecth’s neoclassical rendition of Lady Liberty, which incorporates many of the common aesthetics found in early Greco-Roman art. It depicts Lady Liberty in profile, wearing an inscribed crown on top of her elaborately arranged hairstyle. Framing her beautiful profile, along the outer edge of the coin, is a series of thirteen stars. These represent the original thirteen US colonies. Lastly, appearing beneath her portrait is the coin’s mintage year.
Reverse: 3/4 Facing Heraldic Eagle Bearing Arrows and an Olive Branch
