1862-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS-61 CAC

Category: $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle
Wire/ACH/Check/Zelle Price
+
CAC endorsed. The 1862-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle embodies the Civil War-era resilience of the San Francisco Mint, established in 1854 to process gold from California's booming rushes. This Type One coin reflects the era's economic fervor amid national turmoil, serving as a vital medium for trade, banking, and international payments. 

Designed by James B. Longacre, the obverse features Liberty in profile. The reverse displays an eagle with arrows and olive branch, surrounded by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "TWENTY D." These motifs evoke American strength and peace, rendered in 90% gold for enduring value. PCGS has graded 18 as MS61 with 15 in finer condition. In CAC, there are 4 in MS61, with 2 finer.

Graded MS-61 by PCGS and approved by CAC, this specimen boasts original mint luster and minimal marks, preserving its historical integrity. Such a condition elevates it among survivors, many of which suffered abrasion or cleaning. Collectors prize it for its blend of history and visual appeal, evoking a pivotal chapter in U.S. monetary history.
