1867-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-62 PCGS

---

In 1867, the San Francisco Mint struck a significant run of twenty-dollar gold coins, producing 920,750 of these large denominations. Today, surviving examples provide a direct look at the craftsmanship of the era. This particular coin has been certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62) condition, indicating a remarkable level of preservation for a gold piece that escaped the heavy circulation of the late nineteenth century. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. Its design features the iconic Liberty on the obverse, surrounded by stars and the date 1867. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle accompanied by the national mottoes. Legible inscriptions on the surfaces include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "IN GOD WE TRUST", and the denomination written as "TWENTY D.", alongside the "S" mint mark that identifies its West Coast origin.
