The $20 Liberty Head gold double eagle was first introduced in 1849 as a direct response to the California Gold Rush. The influx of gold into the market created the need for higher-value coinage, and the double eagle fulfilled that role. Chief Engraver James B. Longacre developed the design, which features Liberty wearing a coronet crown. Now, 1873 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins with an Open 3 date mark are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of the 1873 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle displays a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. She wears a coronet on her head, and the design is surrounded by a ring of 13 stars, representing the original states. Beneath Liberty’s portrait rests the year of issue, providing the date mark for the coin.
On the reverse of the 1873 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coin is the Great Seal of the United States. This elaborate heraldic design shows a front-facing bald eagle carrying the national shield at its chest. In its talons are the arrows of war and an olive branch for peace. As a Type II reverse variety, the coin includes the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, while retaining the TWENTY D. denomination inscription.
In 1873, Philadelphia, Carson City, and San Francisco produced $20 Liberty Double Eagles. In total, more than 2.7 million coins were produced, with most coming from Philadelphia (1.7 million) and San Francisco (1.04 million). These particular coins are Open 3 specimens, a nod to a unique variation in the 3 in the 1873 date mark on certain coins. These coins are known as Open 3 due to the open, wider loops in the 3.
These 1873 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are Mint State 63 specimens. Each coin has a slightly impaired mint luster with numerous small contact marks, some of which may be in the primary focal areas, and a few scattered, heavier marks.
