1854O

Mintage: 53,500

Type: 5c

Recommended Grade: VF30 or VF35

Large Date and Small Date varieties exist. The Large Date variety is more scarce, although several positional varieties exist. The Large Date logotype must be seen to be believed: it is enormous, and takes nearly all the room between the bust of Liberty and the rim. According to one source, the logotype was intended for a silver dollar.

Sometimes, dealers will mistakenly offer the "Small Date" variety as "Large Date", as even the "Small Date" logotype is above average in size.

Both varieties typically come weakly struck.
