{{/presale}}The Liberty Gold Double Eagle stands as a significant piece of American coinage history, first introduced in 1850 and continuing through 1907. Designed by James B. Longacre, the 4th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, this coin reflects the grandeur of 19th-century America. Today, you can add the 1878-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin in Very Fine condition to your collection through BGASC.

Obverse
The obverse side of the 1878-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coin showcases a graceful depiction of Lady Liberty facing left, adorned with a coronet inscribed with the word “LIBERTY.” Longacre’s design draws inspiration from earlier representations of Liberty, embodying the nation’s ideals of freedom and democracy.
Reverse
On the reverse of 1878-S Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, you’ll find the majestic Great Seal of the United States, featuring a bald eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch. This Type III design, introduced in 1877, displays the denomination clearly as “TWENTY DOLLARS,” differentiating it from earlier versions.
History
In the year 1878, the production of the $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle was undertaken by three different mints across the United States, with the San Francisco Mint leading in output. During and after the Civil War, there was a strategic shift in gold coin production to western mints like those in San Francisco and Carson City to support economic growth and meet regional demands. The San Francisco Mint’s substantial production that year highlights its crucial role in America’s monetary history.
