Pre-1933 American gold coins remain some of the most desirable issues among numismatists across the United States. In particular, American gold coinage produced from 1834 to 1933 offers collectors a dependable standard of weight for each denomination, along with a consistent gold composition of 90% gold and 10% copper. With their notable gold purity and their connection to multiple chapters of US history, these classic coins continue to be an essential part of many collections. Right now, 1858-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1858-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here is graded AU58, putting it at the top of the AU grading scale (50-58). AU58 coins are often called “sliders,” because the condition is so close to that of an uncirculated coin. Most AU58 specimens have medium or full mint luster with only trace signs of friction or wear on the highest relief points.
The 1858-S Liberty Gold Double Eagle represents one of the earliest issues from the San Francisco Mint, which had begun operations just five years prior during the California Gold Rush era. This $20 gold piece features the iconic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. With a mintage of approximately 846,710 pieces, the 1858-S is relatively available compared to other Type 1 Double Eagles from the same period, though most examples saw heavy circulation in commerce and overseas trade.
The obverse of the 1858-S Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin features Lady Liberty in left-profile relief. She wears a coronet bearing the inscription “LIBERTY” and is surrounded by 13 stars representing the original colonies, with the date displayed below.
On the reverse of the 1858-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Double Eagle, the design showcases a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, holding arrows and an olive branch. The eagle is framed by the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” along with the denomination “TWENTY D.” This Type I reverse design would later be modified in 1866 with the addition of the national motto, and again in 1877 when the denomination was updated to spell out DOLLARS rather than using the abbreviated D.
