The $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle MS-62 NGC (1800s S-Mint) is a historic United States gold coin struck at the San Francisco Mint during the late 19th century. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, each coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of gold and reflects a significant era in American history tied to westward expansion and the Gold Rush legacy.
Graded MS-62 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), this coin is in uncirculated condition, showing no wear from circulation while exhibiting fewer and less severe contact marks compared to lower Mint State grades. It offers improved eye appeal, stronger luster, and sharper detail than MS-60 and MS-61 examples.
Coins from the San Francisco Mint (“S” mintmark) are especially desirable due to their historical importance and relative scarcity. The obverse features Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY,” surrounded by stars representing the states, while the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows, often including the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
Encapsulated and certified by NGC, the coin is guaranteed for authenticity and grade. With its higher uncirculated grade, 1800s origin, and San Francisco Mint pedigree, this Liberty Double Eagle is a premium addition to any collection or precious metals portfolio
