1868-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle XF

0.9675 troy oz .900 1868 Extra Fine

Struck in the post-Civil War era, this 20 dollar gold piece represents a fascinating chapter in American coinage. Produced at the San Francisco Mint in 1868, the coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.900. It belongs to a design family minted between 1866 and 1876, reflecting the artistry of James B. Longacre. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty, her hair bound by a band clearly inscribed with her name. Thirteen stars encircle the central portrait, representing the original colonies. On the reverse, a detailed heraldic eagle carries a shield on its chest. Above the eagle, thirteen stars form a halo, accompanied by the national motto. The outer rim carries the inscriptions denoting the United States of America and the face value of the coin.
