1897 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-63 PCGS
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1897, this twenty-dollar gold piece represents a classic era of United States coinage. The coin is composed of 0.900 fine gold, containing 0.9675 troy ounces of the precious metal. Preserved in an impressive Mint State 63 condition, it offers a remarkably clear look at a design that circulated during a period of rapid national growth. Designed by James B. Longacre, this coin type was produced by the United States Mint from 1850 to 1907. The obverse features a classic profile of Lady Liberty, who is encircled by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. On the reverse, an eagle with outstretched wings holds a protective shield. Above the eagle, a halo of rays and thirteen stars is accompanied by the inscriptions United States of America and Twenty Dollars.
