The 1900-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, struck at the San Francisco Mint, is a desirable artifact of American gold coinage during the Gilded Age. NGC has graded 97 as AU55 with 8,246 finer.
Designed by James B. Longacre, its obverse features a classical Liberty crowned with stars, encircled by “LIBERTY” and the date. The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows, inscribed “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “TWENTY DOLLARS.”
Graded NGC AU-55, this specimen retains sharp details with light friction on Liberty’s cheek and hair, and minimal wear on the eagle’s wings. Traces of original mint luster glow in protected areas, while subtle golden patina enhances its appeal. The “S” mintmark confirms San Francisco origin, a hub for high-quality strikes during the 19th century.
As a pre-1933 gold coin, it embodies both numismatic and historical significance. Surviving examples in AU-55 offer collectors a balance of condition and authenticity, free from post-mint damage. This piece connects directly to America’s frontier expansion and the enduring legacy of the double eagle series.
