Arguably the most well-known gold coins in American history are those of the Gold Eagle series. The first gold coins ever issued by the United States Mint were known as the Gold Eagles and bore a face value of $10 (USD) for the standard coin. Beginning in the 1850s, Double Eagles with a value of $20 (USD) were released into circulation following the California Gold Rush. Today, 1853 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion with NGC certification.
Coin Highlights:
American Gold Double Eagle coins were introduced under legislation known as the Coinage Act of 1849. Following an influx of gold into the Treasury following the California Gold Rush earlier that year, Congress authorized the United States Mint to issue the largest denomination of gold coin in the nation’s history with the Gold Double Eagle ($20 USD).
All 1853 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins in this listing have an XF45 certification from the NGC. XF is a general term that means Extra Fine and indicates the coins have complete details visible with minor wear found only on some of the high points. XF is a general range for coins between 45 and 40, with each grade downward indicating more wear on high points.
On the obverse of these 1853 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins is the Liberty Coronet design. In total, the Gold Double Eagle coins had two designs with six minor variations from 1849 to 1933. These Liberty head designs in 1853 featured Liberty in left-profile relief wearing a coronet on her head. This design came from James B. Longacre, the fourth Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
The reverse of 1853 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins includes a version of the Great Seal of the United States of America. The design includes an eagle behind the US shield with sunbursts over its head, arrows in one talon, and an olive branch in the other. The 1853 release was the fourth year of availability and had the first subtype design in which there is no national motto of “In God We Trust” and the face value is struck as “twenty D” on this side.
