PCGS MS-62 1882-S $20 American Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin
The US Mint produced Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins from 1850 to 1907 to work as the circulating $20 coins in the US.
They contain a gold content of .9675 oz, hold legal tender status, and feature a James B. Longacre design.
The production of the $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin ceased in 1907 after over 50 years of regular strikes when the US Mint replaced it with the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle coin.
This coin, in particular, was produced by the US Mint in the San Francisco branch in 1882; hence, it carries the “S” mint mark.
