The Liberty Double Eagle is one of the most coveted designs in American coin history. The largest denomination the US Mint ever released into circulation, this $20 gold coin debuted in 1850 and featured the Liberty Head bust by James B. Longacre from 1850 to 1907. Today, 1873-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles with a Closed 3 are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Unlike the other denominations in the US Eagle Series, the Double Eagle only featured two designs. The fact that it started in 1850, compared to 1794/95 for the other three denominations, meant that many of the early changes made to the other denominations did not impact the Double Eagle. As such, Longacre’s debut design was used from 1850 to 1907 and then Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic design featured from 1907 to 1933.
All 1873-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles are available here with a Very Fine 30 designation. Coins with this grade have medium or light wear overall, with the general details of the design still easily visible. Very Fine coins can fall between 20 and 35 on the Sheldon Numeric Scale, putting these coins near the top of the field of Very Fine specimens. The Closed 3 designation refers to the tight shape of the 3 in the 1873 date mark.
On the obverse of 1873 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, you will find a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. Created in 1850 by Longacre, this portrait shows Liberty with a coronet crown on her head and a ring of 13 stars around the field of the coin.
The reverse side of the 1873-S $20 Double Eagle Coin comes with a depiction of the Great Seal of the United States. Also designed by Longacre, this visual shows a front-facing bald eagle with the US national shield. The eagle’s talons clutch the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. The national motto is engraved within a ring of 13 stars over the eagle’s head.
