1897 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-65 NGC
The year 1897 saw the production of 1,383,175 Gold Double Eagle coins at the Philadelphia Mint. Because these coins were struck without a mint mark, they are easily distinguished as products of the historic Pennsylvania facility. Representing the classic twenty dollar denomination, each coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of gold within a 0.900 fine purity composition. This specific coin has been graded in a remarkable Mint State 65 (MS-65) condition. Finding a pre-1933 United States gold coin preserved at this level of preservation offers a fascinating glimpse into the high-quality craftsmanship of late nineteenth-century American coinage. The obverse features the date of 1897, anchoring this artifact to a specific moment in the nation's monetary journey.
