1862 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-61 PCGS (Fairmont)
1862 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-61 PCGS (Fairmont)
In 1862, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of 92,133 double eagles, making specimens from this civil-war era year particularly notable. This twenty-dollar gold piece contains 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold within its overall 0.900 fine gold composition. This specific coin has been certified by professional graders as MS-61 (Mint State 61). The obverse features the classic Liberty design, with her hair bound and crowned with a coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY, positioned above the 1862 date. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle design surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TWENTY D. Because it was struck in Philadelphia, this coin bears no mintmark.
