1899 NGC MS-63 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin
From 1850 to 1907, the US Mint produced Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins as the official $20 circulating coin.
The $20 Liberty Double Eagle contains a substantial gold content, totaling .9675 oz, and showcases iconic national symbols as designed by James B. Longacre.
Like other Pre-1933 Gold Coins, the $20 Liberty Double Eagle was heavily targeted during the economic crisis of the 1930s. Due to their gold content, many of these coins were hoarded and melted down, leading to a significant reduction in their availability on the market.
SD Bullion presents 1899 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins, sealed in NGC slabs and graded as MS-63 samples.
