1866-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle No Motto AU-53 PCGS
1866-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle No Motto AU-53 PCGS
In 1866, the San Francisco Mint produced a remarkably small run of just 12,000 double eagles. This particular twenty-dollar gold piece represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage, featuring the classic Liberty design on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse, notably lacking the religious motto that would soon become standard on these large gold issues. Struck from 0.900 fine gold with a precious metal content of 0.9675 troy ounces, this specimen bears the 'S' mint mark of the California facility. It has survived the decades in an impressive About Uncirculated state, officially graded AU-53, preserving the bold details of the Liberty portrait and the intricate feathers of the reverse eagle for modern observers to appreciate.
