1870-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle XF-45 PCGS
Struck in the year 1870 at the San Francisco Mint, this twenty dollar gold coin represents a fascinating era of American coinage. Minted during a period celebrated for its artistic evolution, this substantial piece contains 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold. It has survived the decades in an Extra Fine 45 state of preservation, allowing modern observers to appreciate the fine details of its original nineteenth-century engraving. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty. Her hair is bound by a band clearly inscribed with the word LIBERTY, and she is encircled by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. On the reverse, a majestic heraldic eagle stands with a protective shield draped across its breast. A halo of thirteen stars floats above the eagle, accompanied by the traditional inscriptions of the United States of America and the face value of twenty dollars.
