1858-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle XF-45 NGC
In 1858, the branch mint in San Francisco struck 846,710 gold double eagles, each carrying a face value of twenty dollars. This particular coin offers a tangible connection to the era of the California Gold Rush, minted just a few years after the West Coast facility opened to process the region's abundant precious metal. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, this piece contains 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold. The obverse features the classic Liberty Head design, with the date 1858 positioned below the portrait. On the reverse, the eagle design is accompanied by the 'S' mint mark, indicating its origin in San Francisco. This specimen has survived more than a century and a half, retaining remarkable detail that has earned it a certified grade of Extremely Fine 45 (XF-45).
