Introduced in 1849, the $20 Liberty Head gold double eagle was created following the California Gold Rush, which dramatically increased the nation’s supply of gold and called for larger denomination coinage. The coin was designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre and is recognized for its portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet crown. Right now, 1870 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1870 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here is in AU53 condition. About Uncirculated coins at this grade level have wear patterns that range from extremely light to only trace signs on the highest relief points. The coin may showcase medium or near-full mint luster.
Liberty Head double eagles were struck continuously from 1849 to 1907 at multiple mint facilities, including Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, Carson City, and Denver, with total mintages reaching into the tens of millions. Production fluctuated based on gold availability and economic conditions, with some years, like 1861, seeing limited striking due to the Civil War, while boom years in the West produced massive quantities.
The obverse of the 1870 Pre-33 Liberty Double Eagle Coin highlights a left-profile image of Liberty. She is depicted with a coronet on her head, and the design is encircled by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies. The year of issue is placed below Liberty’s portrait to mark the coin’s date.
The reverse of the 1870 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle carries the Great Seal of the United States. This detailed heraldic eagle faces forward, with the US national shield on its chest, arrows held in one talon, and an olive branch in the other. As a Type II reverse, the design includes the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, while still displaying the TWENTY D. denomination.
