1873 NGC MS-62 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin - Open 3

The US Mint produced Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins from 1850 until 1907 to circulate as the $20 coin in the US, containing .9675 oz, and emblematic designs created by James B. Longacre.

In 1873, the original dies for the Gold Double Eagle coins presented the number "3" in a narrow font that could be mistaken for the number "8." Therefore, Chief Engraver William Barber ordered the production of a new logotype with an Open 3 to avoid confusion. 

Though less rare than the "Closed 3" version, the 1873 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin "Open 3" is still a cherished piece of American coinage history.

Today, you can purchase 1873 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins from those imprinted with an Open 3, sealed and certified by NGC MS-62 samples, at SD Bullion.

  • Produced by the US Mint;
  • Open 3 version;

The Design

The obverse consists of Lady Liberty’s portrayal adorned with a tiara inscribed "LIBERTY." Thirteen six-pointed stars representing the Thirteen Original Colonies encircle her bust, along with the year of issuance, “1873,” imprinted with the new logotype number 3.

The reverse displays the Heraldic Eagle, encircled by the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." Beneath the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST," the eagle was depicted with its wings spread wide, the national shield on its chest, arrows in its talons, and a banner reading "E PLURIBUS UNUM" in its beak. The denomination "TWENTY DOLLARS" is engraved at the bottom.
