1870-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-62+ PCGS
In 1870, the San Francisco Mint struck 982,000 of these twenty-dollar gold pieces, each bearing the distinctive 'S' mint mark. Composed of 90 percent gold and containing nearly a full troy ounce of the precious metal (0.9675 troy ounces), this coin represents a fascinating era of American coinage. This specific specimen has survived the decades in an extraordinary state of preservation, certified by professional graders at MS-62+. Finding a nineteenth-century gold coin of this denomination in such a high grade offers a rare glimpse into the original luster and crisp details of the Liberty design as it looked when it first left the coining press in California.
