Struck by the U.S. Mint from .9675 troy ounces of .900 fine gold, these iconic coins come from a pivotal period in American coinage and feature the classic Liberty Head Type I design by James B. Longacre. Although these specimens were previously mounted in jewelry, they retain their full historical significance and appeal as authentic 19th-century gold currency. Each coin is selected at random and dates between 1850 and 1866, offering collectors and enthusiasts a chance to hold a tangible artifact from the nation’s formative years.
The Liberty Head Type I $20 Double Eagle was first introduced in 1850 in response to the California Gold Rush, which flooded the U.S. Treasury with large quantities of gold.
