1896 PCGS MS-62 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin
Minted by the US Mint between 1850 and 1907, the Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin holds a face value of $20 and contains 0.9675 ounces of fine gold.
Chief Engraver James B. Longacre masterfully crafted the coin's design, which showcases Lady Liberty and the majestic Heraldic Eagle.
Many $20 Liberty Double Eagles vanished during the economic downturn of the 1930s. As gold prices increased, several Pre-1933 gold coins were confiscated, hoarded, and melted down for their gold content.
