1861 PCGS AU-58 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin
The US Mint manufactures Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins to circulate in the US as the official $20 coin from 1850 to 1907.
These coins are made of .9675 oz of gold and feature James B. Longacre’s design, the fourth Chief Engraver of the US Mint.
Like other pre-1933 gold coins, many $20 Liberty Double Eagles vanished during the economic downturn of the 1930s. As gold prices increased, these coins were confiscated, hoarded, and melted down for their gold content.
Today, SD Bullion has 1861 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins in stock, sealed and certified by PCGS as AU-58 coins.
