Coin Highlights:
This 1889-CC Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin comes with warm, even gold surfaces and a satin-like luster that delivers a gentle contrast to the primary design elements. Details are good throughout the coin’s designs and fields. Consistent toning and luster create an overall pleasing eye appeal.
By 1889, America was experiencing industrial expansion, urbanization, and the closing of the western frontier, though agrarian regions struggled with falling commodity prices and debt burdens that would fuel the Populist movement. The debate over silver coinage intensified as western mining interests and indebted farmers advocated for free silver coinage to inflate the currency, while eastern financial interests defended the gold standard established after the resumption of specie payments in 1879.
The obverse of the 1889-CC Liberty Gold Double Eagle showcases an image of Lady Liberty. Created in 1849 by James B. Longacre, the design depicts Liberty facing left in profile relief while wearing a coronet crown. Thirteen stars encircle the upper portion of the design, with the date appearing below.
Found on the reverse of 1889-CC $20 Double Eagle Coins is the Great Seal of the United States. The design illustrates a bald eagle in forward-facing relief supporting the national shield. The eagle grasps a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, reflecting themes of defense and peace. As a Type III specimen, this coin includes both the IN GOD WE TRUST motto inscription and the modified denomination inscription of TWENTY DOLLARS, instead of the original TWENTY D.
