Please note this coin may have rim nicks, scratches, or other wear.

The $20 Gold Double Eagle Liberty Head Type II is a historic piece of American coinage, minted between 1866 and 1876. Struck in .900 fine gold, this coin features the classic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre, symbolizing strength and freedom. With its Almost Uncirculated (AU) condition, this Double Eagle retains most of its original detail while offering a more affordable option than mint-state examples.

The Type II Liberty Head Double Eagle was introduced in 1866 following a major design change—the addition of the motto "In God We Trust" above the eagle on the reverse. This modification came in response to the Civil War, reflecting the nation's deepening religious sentiment. The coin was struck at multiple U.S. Mints, including Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Carson City, and remained in circulation until 1876, when the Type III design replaced it. Today, these coins serve as tangible relics of Reconstruction-era America, offering collectors a direct link to the country's post-war economic expansion.

This historical gold coin is a valuable addition for collectors and investors alike. With over 150 years of history, its solid gold content, Almost Uncirculated condition, and limited surviving population make it highly desirable. Whether for its numismatic appeal, gold bullion value, or historical significance, the Type II Gold Double Eagle remains a cornerstone of any pre-1933 U.S. gold collection.
