---

In 1853, the Philadelphia Mint produced over 1.2 million of these impressive twenty dollar gold pieces. Struck from 0.900 fine gold with a total gold content of 0.9675 troy ounces, this substantial coin represents a fascinating era of American coinage. The design features the classic Liberty motif on the obverse and a detailed heraldic eagle on the reverse, bearing the denomination of twenty dollars. Finding a survivor of this mintage in such an exceptional state of preservation is a rare treat for enthusiasts. This specific specimen has been officially graded and certified as Mint State 62 (MS-62). At this grade level, the coin retains much of its original luster and crisp design details, offering a vivid window into the mid nineteenth century minting process in the United States.
