The 1884 $20 Liberty Double Eagle coins present an interesting study in mint production patterns, as they were struck at three facilities with dramatically different quantities and resulting rarity levels. The San Francisco Mint contributed approximately 916,000 coins, while the 1884-CC from Carson City was far more limited, with only 81,139 coins issued. Right now, 1884-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1884-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin comes with a plastic slab and a Mint State 62 grade. Coins in this condition exhibit impaired or dull luster with clusters of small contact marks and a few large marks. Hairlines may also be noticeable.
The 1884 production year occurred during a period of relative economic stability, but the varying mintage figures reflect the different roles each mint played in serving regional commerce and the varying amounts of gold being processed at each facility.
On the obverse of 1884-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, you will find a portrait of Lady Liberty. Designed by 4th US Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, this left-profile effigy shows Liberty with long, flowing curls and a coronet crown on her head. There is a ring of 13 stars around the portrait.
The reverse side of the 1884-S Liberty Double Eagle Coin comes with a depiction of the Great Seal of the United States. The emblem features a bald eagle with the US national shield, clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. As a Type III specimen, this coin includes the national motto and an updated engraving of the denomination.
