1870-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle AU-50 PCGS
Struck in 0.900 fine gold, this 1870 twenty-dollar piece contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. The coin represents a significant era of American numismatic production, originating from a time often called the Renaissance of American Coinage. As a sovereign issue, its weight and purity carry the full backing of the United States government. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty, her hair bound by a band clearly displaying her name. Thirteen stars encircle this central image, representing the original colonies. On the reverse, a detailed heraldic eagle holds a shield, positioned beneath a cluster of thirteen stars. The surrounding legends identify the issuing nation as the United States of America and state the face value of twenty dollars.
