This is a major condition rarity in the No Motto Liberty series. There is just something about No Motto eagles from the 1850s that are very charming. They are truly conditionally scarce coins, the vast majority disappearing into circulation during the Antebellum, with very few quality pieces for collectors to pursue. The 1854 is a great example, the original mintage was modest, only 54,250 were struck. David Akers wrote that the "1854 is a rare date in any condition, and in AU or uncirculated condition it is very rare." Between PCGS and NGC there are about two dozen Mint State coins graded, including some likely duplication. The presently offered coin has a choice look! A thick mint frost blooms with a warm glow on original surfaces. The fields and devices show some very minor ticks that account for the assigned grade. The design elements on both sides are generally crisp in definition. The eye appeal is excellent for the modest grade, and a true prize for the specialist! PCGS 6, NGC 1, CAC 3. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $18,001 in April 2018, and in August 2016 one sold for $15,275. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $19,000 and there are only two coins finer at PCGS, all MS64 and none have ever sold in auction. This is about as fine as you will ever see. Good luck! Cert. Number 35810897 PCGS # 8613
