The 1860-S Double Eagle circulated during a year of profound political crisis that overshadowed relatively stable economic conditions. On the eve of the US Civil War, this 1860-S Liberty Double Eagle was issued by the United States Mint and, today, delivers a specimen with bold definition in the designs and crisp visuals for the supporting details. Today, the 1860-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
While the American economy in 1860 remained generally prosperous, with continued westward expansion, agricultural productivity, and industrial growth in the North, the nation teetered on the brink of disunion following Abraham Lincoln’s election. Southern states began seceding, creating uncertainty in financial markets and disrupting trade relationships, though the full economic impact of the impending Civil War had not yet materialized, leaving many businesses and banks operating under a cloud of anxious anticipation about the future.
This 1860-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin is a Mint State 62+ specimen, indicating it is among the finest MS62 specimens available. The coin showcases even coloring and a satin-like texture that creates an attractive eye appeal on both sides.
The obverse design of the 1860-S Liberty Gold Double Eagle presents Lady Liberty in portrait form. This design, created by James B. Longacre in 1849, depicts Liberty in left-facing profile relief wearing a coronet crown. Thirteen stars arc above her head within the field, with the date located at the bottom of the coin.
On the reverse of the 1860-S $20 Double Eagle Coin appears the Great Seal of the United States. The image shows a bald eagle facing forward while holding the national shield. In its talons, the eagle carries arrows of war and an olive branch of peace.
