Invest in the Rare $20 Gold Double Eagle Liberty Head Coin
Discover the allure and historical significance of the $20 Gold Double Eagle Liberty Head Coin. This remarkable coin traces its origins back to the California Gold Rush in 1849, when the discovery of gold led to the United States becoming one of the wealthiest nations. To facilitate large transactions, the government introduced the $20 Double Eagle, which quickly became the highest denomination coin in circulation.
Designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the obverse of the coin features a leftward-facing Lady Liberty wearing a pearl-studded Coronet with the word "LIBERTY" inscribed on it. Encircled by 13 stars representing the original colonies, this iconic design captures the spirit of American independence. The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast, clutching olive branches and arrows in its talons. Inspired by the Great Seal of the United States, the eagle is surrounded by the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" along with the denomination "TWENTY DOLLARS."
This coin holds immense historical value, as it was minted from 1850 to 1907, until it was replaced by a newer design. During the Great Depression, many of these coins were melted down, making the remaining Double Eagles incredibly scarce. Owning a $20 Gold Double Eagle Liberty Head Coin allows you to hold a piece of history in your hands.
