One of the most famous coins in American history is the Gold Double Eagle. A $20 (USD) circulation coin introduced in the immediate aftermath of the California Gold Rush, the Gold Double Eagle was part of the broader US Eagle denomination and had the highest face value of any coin in the group. Today, Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins with the Type 2 design are available to you online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins went through three different reverse design concepts. All coins had the Great Seal of the United States, with the variations coming in the lettering engraved on the reverse. The Type 2 design was conceived in the aftermath of the US Civil War and was the shortest-lived of the three, appearing in circulation for just a decade.
All of these Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Coins are available to you in About Uncirculated condition. Generally speaking, coins in this condition correlate to a grade of around 50-58 on the Sheldon scale. AU coins have extremely light or only trace friction on the highest relief points, with medium or even near-full mint luster.
On the obverse of Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, you will find a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. Created in 1849 by James B. Longacre, the design captures a bust of Liberty wearing a coronet crown with a ring of 13 stars around the design.
The reverse of the Pre-33 $20 Gold Double Eagle features the Great Seal of the United States. This twist on the heraldic eagle features the bald eagle in front-facing relief with the US national shield on its chest as it clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. As the Type 2 design, the difference on this side is the inclusion of the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST within the circle of stars over the eagle’s head. This was done in the aftermath of the Civil War to promote national unity.
