{{/presale}}The Double Eagle, first introduced by the United States Mint in 1850, was the largest gold coin denomination ever circulated in the U.S. Each of these historic coins contains .9675 Troy oz of 90% gold, with the balance made up of copper. The Liberty Head design, featured on these coins until 1907, is a symbol of American heritage. Right now, 1878-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available in certified condition from BGASC.
Highlights:
The 1878-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here is secured in a PCGS plastic slab and graded About Uncirculated (AU) 58. These coins exhibit minimal friction at the highest points and retain much of their original mint luster.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1878-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles is a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. Designed by James B. Longacre, Liberty is shown with her hair tied back in a bun, wearing a coronet crown, and surrounded by 13 stars with the date at the bottom.
Reverse
The reverse side features the Great Seal of the United States, a design that went through three iterations from 1850 to 1907. The 1878-S coin includes the Type III design, which changed the denomination inscription from TWENTY D. to TWENTY DOLLARS.
History
After the California Gold Rush, the U.S. Mint expanded its gold coin offerings, leading to the creation of the Double Eagle. This coin was struck with the Liberty Head design from 1850 until 1907, after which it featured the Saint-Gaudens design until the series ended in 1933.
