1901-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-63 PCGS
In 1901, the San Francisco Mint struck 1,596,000 twenty-dollar gold pieces, a substantial output that helped fuel the commerce of a growing nation. Today, finding one of these Liberty Gold Double Eagles preserved in a certified Mint State 63 condition offers a remarkable window into early twentieth-century American coinage. This impressive coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold within its 0.900 fine gold composition, giving it a heavy, satisfying presence. The obverse of the coin features the classic profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with her name, surrounded by thirteen stars and the year 1901. On the reverse, the heraldic eagle is flanked by the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" above, with the denomination "TWENTY DOLLARS" and the "S" mint mark of the San Francisco facility located below the design. The legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arches over the top, completing a design that defined American gold currency for decades.
