1898 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-62 NGC
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this 1898 twenty-dollar gold piece represents a historic era of American coinage. The coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of gold, minted in a composition of 0.900 fine purity. Designed by James B. Longacre, this specific design type was produced by the United States Mint for over half a century, spanning from 1850 to 1907. The obverse features a classic profile of Liberty, her hair secured by a delicate pearl-bordered diadem that clearly displays the inscription LIBERTY. Below the portrait, the year 1898 is prominently displayed. The reverse side displays a grand eagle with its wings fully spread, bearing a protective shield upon its breast. Floating above the eagle is an oval of thirteen stars surrounded by brilliant rays, symbolizing the original colonies. The outer edge is inscribed with the issuing nation, United States of America, and the face value, Twenty Dollars.
