Early Gold Bullion $20 Liberty Extra Fine

Due to the California Gold Rush and the distrust of paper money, the US Mint started producing gold coins, with larger denominations. The main purpose, of minting the $20 Liberty, was to make bigger transactions easier. Congress passed a bill, in 1849, that allowed for the minting of the $20 Liberty double eagle. The $20 Liberty is also called a double eagle since it was worth double what the original eagle was. The $20 Liberty in extra fine condition exhibits a healthy amount of wear on the coin's total surface. The coin's date may vary, depending on our current inventory, and is not guaranteed. The $20 Liberty is all common dates and scarcer dates are sold separately, at a higher premium.
