Product Description
Introduced in 1850, this $20 Liberty Double Eagle NGC 62 earned its place among America’s most revered numismatic treasures. The genesis of the Double Eagle design can be traced back to the substantial influx of gold from California’s prolific gold mines. Congressional approval for the Double Eagle was secured in 1849, marking it as the largest circulating gold-minted coin in the nation, with engraver James Barton Longacre at the helm of its distinctive design.
