Give Me Liberty

Criterion takes pride in presenting items of exceptional rarity and value. In a recent sale, one such star find was a 1987 $50 Liberty Eagle Gold Coin, which sold for an impressive £1,500. In mint condition, this coin represents a perfect fusion of historical significance and investment potential.

The $50 Liberty Eagle, part of the United States Mint's prestigious American Eagle series, was first issued in 1986. This particular coin, minted in 1987, is composed of one ounce of solid gold. Its pristine condition, retaining the original luster and detail, makes this coin particularly special.

The coin's obverse, designed by the esteemed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, features the iconic Lady Liberty, symbolizing enlightenment and freedom. The reverse side depicts a soaring eagle with an olive branch, representing peace and strength. These coins have been a favourite of collectors and traders alike since their introduction in the 1980’s.
