The largest denomination of Pre-33 US Gold Coins was the $20 Double Eagle. Introduced in 1850, the coin’s debut was a result of the California Gold Rush and was predominantly used in international commerce between America and its overseas trade partners. Specimens from the Fairmont Collection are among the most coveted today following the repatriation of this group of coins from foreign banks. Right now, certified 1871-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available for purchase online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1871-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin is available in AU50 condition, indicating a coin with extremely light friction on the highest relief points and the potential for medium mint luster remaining. These particular specimens have satin surfaces with vivid, original golden-apricot colors. The coin has a design that is sharply struck in most areas and great eye appeal.
While the San Francisco Mint issued 928,000 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles in 1871, few specimens that emerged from foreign banks in the mid-20th century were in conditions better than Extremely Fine. The Fairmont Collection is the only hoard to showcase 1871-S Double Eagles with impressive visual appeal as found on these coins.
On the obverse of the 1871-S Liberty Double Eagle Coin, you will find the left-profile bust of Liberty. Designed in 1849 by James B. Longacre, the image shows Liberty wearing a coronet crown.
The reverse side of 1871-S $20 Liberty Double Eagles comes with a depiction of the Great Seal of the United States. Based on the heraldic eagle, it features an eagle in front-facing relief with a large US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace. Rays of light extend from wingtip to wingtip, with a ring of 13 stars above the eagle.
