1870 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle AU-58 PCGS
In 1870, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of 155,150 gold coins in the twenty-dollar denomination. Known as the Liberty Gold Double Eagle, these impressive pieces of currency were struck from 0.900 fine gold, containing nearly a full troy ounce of the precious metal (0.9675 troy ounces). Because they were minted in Philadelphia, these specific coins do not display a mint mark. This particular specimen has survived in remarkable condition, certified in Almost Uncirculated 58 (AU-58) condition. It showcases the classic design motifs of its era, featuring the profile of Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the date 1870, the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST.
