Liberty Double Eagles from the San Francisco Mint offer an interesting look at the history of the California Gold Rush. While all Liberty Double Eagles from San Francisco feature 90% gold with 10% copper, the early issues largely contained gold from placer mining operations, where gold was collected from streams and riverbeds. Later issues incorporated gold from industrial hydraulic and hard rock mining as technology evolved. Right now, 1902-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1902-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here comes in a plastic flip with an Extremely Fine condition. XF coins are generally considered to fall between 40 and 45 on the Sheldon Numeric Scale, with light wear on the higher points of the design elements and the possibility that traces of the original luster remain.
Many S-Double Eagles became important in international trade, particularly with China. They were trusted for their consistent gold content and were often preferred over local currencies. In 1902, the United States Mint produced by the vast majority of its Double Eagles in San Francisco. The Philadelphia Mint produced just over 31,000 coins, compared to the more than 1.75 million from the San Francisco Mint.
The obverse of 1902-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coins features a portrait of Lady Liberty. Designed by James B. Longacre, the 4th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, this effigy shows Liberty in left-profile relief with a coronet crown on her head and a ring of 13 stars around her figure.
On the reverse of 1902-S Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, you will find the American bald eagle with the US national shield, arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace. This design is a Type III reverse with the added national motto in the ring of stars (1866) and the modified denomination as TWENTY DOLLARS (1877).
