The outbreak of the American Civil War had a profound impact on the production of US gold coins, with the New Orleans Mint offline and under Confederate control, and widespread gold hoarding leading to shortages of the coins in circulation. This 1864 $20 Liberty Double Eagle is a late-era Type I specimen from the series and remains a coveted date among collectors. Now, the 1864 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin is available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1864 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin features a beautiful satin luster with gold hues that range from green-gold coloration to yellow-gold and even rose coloration. As a Type I specimen, this coin maintains the designs featured in this series since its introduction in 1850, resulting in strong interest from collectors seeking coins from the original era of Double Eagle production.
The obverse of 1864 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coins comes with a depiction of Lady Liberty in left-profile relief. Designed by James B. Longacre, based on Christian Gobrecht’s 1838 portrait of Liberty, this image shows Liberty’s head in left-profile relief with the coronet crown on her head and 13 stars around the bust.
On the reverse of the 1864 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, you will find a depiction of the Great Seal of the United States. The seal features a front-facing bald eagle supporting the US national shield with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. Type I coins in this series do not have the national motto on the reverse and use the original TWENTY D denomination engraving.
Prior to the American Civil War, Liberty Double Eagles were produced by Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco. In the year the war started, the US Mint issued nearly 4 million Liberty Double Eagles. Just one year into the conflict, production had cratered to less than 1 million coins, with production remaining around the 1 million mark annually throughout the war.
