Coin Highlights:
This 1857-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin is a Mint State 66 specimen. The coin boasts harmonious texture and color on both sides and a satin-like glow and overall visual balance. This coin represents one of the early issues from the new San Francisco Mint as it began operations in the 1850s.
Featured on the obverse of the 1857-S Liberty Gold Double Eagle is an image of Lady Liberty. Created in 1849 by James B. Longacre, the artwork depicts Liberty in left-profile relief adorned with a coronet crown. A total of thirteen stars surround the upper portion of the field, with the coin’s date appearing at the bottom.
The reverse of 1857-S $20 Double Eagle Coins showcases the Great Seal of the United States. Shown in front-facing relief, a bald eagle stands behind the national shield. The eagle holds an olive branch in one talon and arrows of war in the other, reflecting the nation’s balance of peace and defense.
The Panic of 1857 was an economic downturn triggered by the failure of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company, and was exacerbated by declining grain prices and overspeculation in railroad securities. These factors resulted in widespread bank failures, unemployment, and a sharp contraction in trade. The panic particularly affected Northern industrial states and financial centers, while the South’s cotton economy remained relatively insulated, leading to sectional tensions that would deepen in the years leading to the Civil War.
