1896 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-63 PCGS
In 1896, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 792,535 Liberty Gold Double Eagle coins. Struck in 0.900 fine gold with a substantial weight containing 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal, this twenty-dollar denomination represents a significant era in United States coinage. Because it was struck at the main Philadelphia facility, the coin carries no mint mark. The design features bold, classic American imagery. On the obverse, the date 1896 is clearly displayed. The reverse features the traditional national mottoes, including IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the country name, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the denomination expressed as TWENTY DOLLARS. This specimen is certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63) condition, preserving the crisp details of its original late nineteenth-century manufacture.
