In 1859, the Philadelphia Mint struck a limited run of just 43,597 double eagle gold coins. Carrying no mint mark, these twenty-dollar pieces represent a fascinating era of American coinage. Each coin was crafted with a purity of 0.900 gold, containing 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty, her hair secured with a band inscribed with the word LIBERTY, positioned above the 1859 year of production. This specific specimen has survived the decades in an impressive About Uncirculated condition, officially graded as AU 55.
