1874-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle AU-55 NGC
In 1874, the San Francisco Mint struck 1,214,000 of these impressive twenty-dollar gold pieces. This specific coin belongs to the celebrated Liberty Double Eagle series, representing a time when heavy gold coinage actively circulated in American commerce. Crafted from 90 percent pure gold, each coin contains nearly a full troy ounce of precious metal, specifically 0.9675 ounces. This specimen has been certified in About Uncirculated 55 condition, meaning it still retains much of its original luster and detail from the day it was minted. The obverse prominently displays the classic portrait of Liberty alongside the date 1874, while the reverse bears the discrete 'S' mint mark, indicating its origin at the historic California minting facility.
