About this product

With Motto Liberty Double Eagles, 1866 to 1876, With Cleaned Surfaces

This Type II Liberty Head double eagle is a $20 U.S. gold coin from the 1866-1876 period, containing 0.9675 troy ounces of .900 fine gold and offered in polished or cleaned condition. The date is random within that range. Polished or cleaned means the surface was rubbed or treated at some point, removing original luster, so these coins are generally valued more for their gold than for their grade.

What Makes a Liberty Double Eagle Type II

James B. Longacre's Liberty Head double eagle comes in three types. Type I coins, struck from 1849 to 1866, have no motto. Type II, from 1866 to 1876, adds IN GOD WE TRUST inside the oval of stars above the eagle and abbreviates the denomination as TWENTY D. Type III, from 1877 to 1907, spells out TWENTY DOLLARS. The obverse shows Liberty facing left in a pearl-studded coronet inscribed LIBERTY, ringed by 13 stars. The reverse heraldic eagle, inspired by the Great Seal, holds arrows and olive branches.

Comparing Prices on Cleaned Type II Coins

Because cleaning lowers collector appeal, dealers tend to price these coins close to their gold value, adding a smaller premium over the spot price than they would for an original-surface example. Bullion Hunters shows the published prices and buyback offers side by side. Start with our 20 dollar gold coin overview or other U.S. gold coins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does polished or cleaned mean for a Liberty Head double eagle?

It means the coin's surface was polished, wiped or chemically cleaned at some point, which removes original luster and can leave fine lines. Collectors usually prefer untouched surfaces, so cleaned coins are typically valued closer to their gold content.

How is a Type II Liberty double eagle in cleaned condition priced?

Dealers generally start with the spot value of 0.9675 oz of gold and add a modest premium for the coin's age and type. That premium varies, so checking published prices from several dealers shows where offers stand.
