The Double Eagle was the largest denomination of gold coinage ever issued by the United States for circulation use. The $20 Double Eagle was introduced in 1850 as the United States Treasury found itself flush with gold following the California Gold Rush. The Liberty Head design was the first of two to feature on this denomination and graced the coins for the longest period of time. Right now, 1873 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins with an Open 3 are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1873 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here comes in an NGC slab with an XF40 grade. At this level, coins commonly feature light wear on the high relief points of the design only. Some traces of mint luster are still possible. These coins were struck by the Philadelphia Mint in 1873.
The 1873 release of Liberty Gold Double Eagles featured so-called Open 3 and Closed 3 coins. This refers to the number 3 in the 1873 date mark struck on the coins. The Open 3 coins have more visible space where the top and bottom of the number 3 come together. In total, the Philadelphia Mint struck 1,709,800 of these coins in 1873, the highest number of the three mints to produce the coins that year.
In the obverse design of 1873 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coins, you will find James B. Longacre’s effigy of Liberty. This left-profile relief depicts Liberty wearing a coronet crown on her head with a ring of 13 stars around the portrait. The date mark is found at the bottom of the field.
For the reverse side of 1873 Pre-33 Gold Double Eagles, you will find the Great Seal of the United States. This design incorporates the heraldic eagle with its front-facing position with the US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace. The ring of 13 stars over the eagle’s head includes the national motto.
