NGC MS60
1853/2 PCGS AU50

Type: 5c

Recommended Grade: XF45

Breen claims a variety exist with repunching on the '1'. He also claims a variety with a doubled die reverse. Many Liberty Eagles have doubling on the reverse legends, however, and this is generally due to strike doubling (the reverse die was likely loose).

There is also a 1853/2 variety. This is listed in Coin World trends and is a clear overdate. Breen states that this is "extremely rare" but that is not the case, as dozens exist in EF and AU grades.
