1900-S PCGS MS-62 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin
The Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin, crafted by James B. Longacre, the fourth Chief Engraver of the US Mint, served as the official $20 coin in the US from 1850 to 1907, containing .9675 oz of gold.
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.
The surviving $20 Liberty Double Eagles the San Francisco Mint issued bear the "S" mint mark.
At SD Bullion, you can acquire 1900-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins sealed and certified by PCGS as MS-62 coins at SD Bullion.

A PCGS MS-62 Coin
Like other third-party grading services, PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) appraises numismatic items using the Sheldon Grading Scale and ranks coins from 1 to 70 according to their condition.
An MS coin indicates Mint State, a coin issued as a business circulation one. Grade 62 indicates that the coin may present marks and hairlines in focal areas but with an acceptable overall appearance.
