1898-S PCGS MS-63 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin
James B. Longacre, the fourth Chief Engraver of the US Mint, created the design stamped on the Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin.
The Liberty Double Eagle was the US's official $20 circulating coin from 1850 to 1907, containing .9675 oz of gold.
Several $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins disappeared during the economic collapse of the 1930s, like other Pre-1933 gold coins. When gold spot prices rose, those gold coins were confiscated, hoarded, and melted down because of their gold content.
Those surviving $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins the San Francisco Mint issued carry the “S” mint mark.
Today, SD Bullion sells 1898-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins sealed and certified by PCGS as MS-63 coins.
