James B. Longacre designed the images for the $20 Gold Double Eagle in 1849, one year before the US Mint introduced the coins into circulation. Longacre’s designs were inspired by the existing images from Christian Gobrecht on the Eagle, Half Eagle, and Quarter Eagle. The Liberty Double Eagle was the longest-running design on the $20 Double Eagle denomination. Right now, certified 1877-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1877-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here comes in a plastic slab. The coins come with an AU55 grade, which stands for About Uncirculated. Coins with this certification level have extremely light or even just trace signs of friction on the highest points. It is possible for an AU55 coin to have medium or near-full mint luster.
In 1877, the United States was nearing the end of the Reconstruction Era in the American South. This period extended from the end of the Civil War in 1865 until about 1878. During the Civil War, much of the US Mint’s production was shifted west to the San Francisco Mint and Carson City Mint. During Reconstruction, production remained heavier out west, with the San Francisco Mint issuing the largest number of 1877 Liberty Double Eagles.
Obverse design elements on 1877-S Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagles includes a bust of Lady Liberty. Designed by Longacre in 1849, this left-profile bust depicts Liberty with a coronet crown on her head and a ring of 13 stars around her portrait.
Reverse visuals on 1877-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coins showcase the Great Seal of the United States. 1877 Double Eagles have what is known as the Type III reverse design. The heraldic eagle emblem gained the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST with the Type II design in 1866, and 1877 marked the debut of the Type III featuring a change from TWENTY D. on the reverse to TWENTY DOLLARS for the denomination.
