0.9675 troy oz .900 1855 Extra Fine - 40 (PCGS)

In 1855, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 364,666 Liberty Head double eagles. These substantial twenty-dollar gold pieces represent a fascinating era of American coinage, struck from 0.900 fine gold with a total gold weight of 0.9675 troy ounces. Because they were minted in Philadelphia, these specific coins do not bear a mint mark. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with her name, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies, with the date 1855 positioned below. On the reverse, the heraldic eagle is encircled by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TWENTY D. This particular specimen has survived the decades in remarkable condition, graded as Extra Fine 40 (XF-40) by certified numismatic experts, showcasing the enduring artistry of mid-nineteenth-century American currency.
