1890 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-62+ NGC
The year 1890 saw the production of a classic American gold piece at the Philadelphia Mint, a twenty-dollar denomination known as the Liberty Double Eagle. This specific issue is a notable survivor from a total mintage of just 75,940 pieces. Struck without a mint mark, it represents the primary federal minting facility's craftsmanship during the late nineteenth century. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, this coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse design features the iconic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with her name, surrounded by stars and the date 1890. This specimen has been certified in MS-62+ condition, indicating a high level of preservation that allows observers to appreciate the original details of the engraving just as they emerged from the coin press over a century ago.
