1851 Liberty Head One Dollar Gold Coin Type 1 - Beautiful!

Description

For your consideration this week is a lovely 1851 United States Liberty Head gold coin.
Designed by James B. Longacre, and at just 13mm, this beautiful coin was the smallest coin that the US Mint ever produced.
Inevitably, this size proved to be an inconvenience and consequently it was only in circulation from 1849-1854, hence the Type 1.
This particular coin is slabbed and appears to be lightly circulated.
Thanks for looking!
