RE: Color Challenge – Wednesday Yellow – A Gold Dollar

in #colorchallenge6 years ago (edited)

sweet! James B. Longacre's first design (it has the exact same Liberty head that is on the Liberty Head Double Eagle).

If you look closely at the face profile of the:

Indian Head Cent,
the other $1 gold pieces (types II and III),
as well as the $3 Gold Piece...

you'll notice that they all have the same perfect Longacre-designed profile! My favorite engraver!

Thanks @orionsbeltbuckle and pretty cool. I looked them up and definitely see the likenesses. It's a beautiful coin! I wish I had one of those Liberty Head Double Eagles! 😉
