1854-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle XF-45 PCGS
In 1854, the San Francisco Mint began its operations, striking precious metal coins to meet the demands of a rapidly growing economy. Among the most significant issues of this inaugural year was the twenty-dollar gold piece, known as the Liberty Double Eagle. This specific coin has been certified in Extra Fine 45 condition, preserving a remarkable level of detail from a momentous era in American minting history. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, this substantial coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty, surrounded by stars with the date 1854 positioned below. On the reverse, the design showcases the eagle emblem, flanked by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TWENTY D. The small 'S' mint mark below the eagle identifies its origin at the newly established West Coast facility, which produced a total of 141,468 of these double eagles that year.
