1894 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-61 NGC
In 1894, the Philadelphia Mint produced a significant run of Liberty Gold Double Eagles, striking 1,368,940 of these substantial twenty-dollar pieces. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold, each coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen has survived the decades in remarkable condition, earning a certified grade of Mint State 61 (MS-61). The obverse features a classic portrait of Liberty, framed by the date 1894 at the bottom. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle, representing the official United States denomination of twenty dollars. Because it was struck at the main Philadelphia facility, the coin bears no mint mark, serving as a pure representation of late nineteenth-century American coinage design.
