In the 19^th century, the United States Mint expanded its US Eagle Series with the debut of a $20 gold coin. Known as the Double Eagle, this new gold coin debuted in 1850 with the same Liberty Head design already in use on the Quarter Eagle, Half Eagle, and the Eagle. The Double Eagles debut came after the death of the original designer of the Liberty Head image, and as such, required modification of the image by then-US Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre. Provident Metals now has Pre-33 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold 4-Coin Sets available to you for purchase online.

The design element includes a heraldic eagle in front-facing relief with the US national shield on its chest. The eagle clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. The ring of 13 stars over its head features the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST from 1866 onward, while the inscription of the face value is TWENTY D. for 1850-1877 coins and TWENTY DOLLARS from 1877 to 1907.

History

Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins were issued by five branch mints of the United States. The Philadelphia Mint issued the coins each year, with San Francisco issuing coins from 1854 to 1907. The New Orleans Mint issued coins from 1850 to 1861 and the Carson City Mint intermittently issued the coins from 1870 to 1893. The Denver Mint struck the coins as well during its final two years in 1906 and 1907.
