The 1883-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle, graded NGC AU-58, is a captivating piece of American numismatic history. NGC has graded 480 as AU58 with 1,775 finer.
Minted in San Francisco during the late 19th century, this coin embodies the economic ambition of a growing nation. Its obverse features a classical depiction of Lady Liberty, her hair adorned with a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY," surrounded by 13 stars symbolizing the original colonies. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, representing strength and peace. Graded AU-58, the coin is nearly uncirculated, with faint wear on high points but retaining sharp details and much of its original mint luster.
Its rich, warm hue and intricate design reflect the craftsmanship of the era. The "S" mintmark denotes its San Francisco origin, a hub for gold coinage due to its proximity to California’s gold fields. The AU-58 grade indicates light circulation, making it a desirable compromise between affordability and preservation for collectors seeking historic gold without the premium of a mint-state piece.
