1891-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-63 PCGS
In 1891, the San Francisco Mint struck a significant run of 1,288,125 gold double eagles, each carrying a face value of 20 dollars. These substantial pieces were minted from 90 percent pure gold, containing 0.9675 troy ounces of the precious metal. The coin features the classic Liberty design on its obverse, accompanied by the date 1891 and the inscription LIBERTY. This specific specimen has survived the decades in an extraordinary state of preservation, earning a certified grade of Mint State 63 (MS-63). Finding pre-1933 United States gold coins in such clean, uncirculated condition offers a rare glimpse into the high-quality craftsmanship of late nineteenth-century American coinage.
