Historical Background
The $20 Double Eagle was first authorized in 1849 after a flood of newly mined California gold demanded higher-value coinage. Designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the Liberty Head Double Eagle served the nation through major events including the Civil War, the westward expansion, and the dawn of the 20th century. Its production ended in 1907 when it was replaced by Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ celebrated design. Today, surviving examples in PCGS MS66 condition are scarce, representing some of the finest known survivors of this historic series.
