Product Description

First introduced in 1849, the $20 Liberty Head double eagle was minted as a direct result of the California Gold Rush, which significantly boosted the supply of gold in the United States. Designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the coin is well-known for Libertys profile wearing a coronet. BGASC now offers 1870 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins in AU53 condition.

  • Arrives in an individual plastic slab!
  • 21st coin in the Liberty Double Eagle Series!
  • Mintage of only 155,150 coins from Philadelphia!
  • Limited availability of certified coins!
  • Contains .9675 troy oz of actual gold content.
  • Bears a face value of $20 (USD) backed by the federal government.
  • Issued a grade of About Uncirculated 53 by the Professional Coin Grading Service.
  • Lady Liberty on the obverse.
  • Great Seal of the United States on the reverse.
  • Type II reverse coin.

The 1870 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle offered here has been graded AU53. At this level, About Uncirculated coins show only light wear across high points, while retaining much of the original detail and in many cases some mint luster.

Obverse

The obverse design on the 1870 Liberty Double Eagle shows Liberty in profile facing left. She wears a coronet, with 13 stars circling her head to represent the original colonies. The year of mintage appears at the bottom of the design.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1870 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle displays the Great Seal of the United States. The eagle faces forward with a shield across its chest, an olive branch in one talon, and arrows in the other. This Type II reverse includes the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above the eagle, and the denomination listed as TWENTY D.

History

These Liberty Head double eagles were struck from 1849 to 1907 at multiple facilities: Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, Carson City, and Denver. Output across the series totaled in the tens of millions, though mintages shifted over the decades with changing gold supplies and historical events. Certain years, such as the early 1860s, saw fewer coins due to the Civil War, while later years of western mining brought larger issues.
