1905 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-64+ PCGS

---

In 1905, the Philadelphia Mint produced a limited run of just 58,910 gold double eagles. Carrying a face value of twenty dollars, these impressive coins represent the pinnacle of United States gold coinage from the era preceding 1933. Strikingly preserved, this specific specimen has been certified by professional graders at the high tier of Mint State 64 plus, indicating an exceptional level of original luster and minimal surface marks. The obverse of the coin features the classic profile of Liberty, her hair secured by a coronet inscribed with the word LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars with the year 1905 anchored at the base. On the reverse, the heraldic eagle is flanked by the national mottoes, with IN GOD WE TRUST positioned above the eagle and E PLURIBUS UNUM on the ribbons. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TWENTY DOLLARS encircle the design. Because it was struck in Philadelphia, the coin bears no mintmark, leaving the fields clean and highlighting the rich 90 percent gold composition that contains nearly a full troy ounce of precious metal.
