$20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Series
The $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle series is a cornerstone of American numismatics, produced from 1849 to 1907. As a pre-1933 gold coin, these are highly prized by collectors for their historical significance and classic designs. Each coin in this series, including the 1899 issue, offers a glimpse into the rich past of the United States during a time of rapid expansion and economic growth.
1899 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Design
Designed by James B. Longacre, the obverse of the 1899 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle features Lady Liberty adorned with a crown inscribed with "Liberty," symbolizing the enduring values of freedom and democracy. The reverse showcases a majestic Heraldic Eagle, modeled after the Great Seal of the United States, which underscores the nation’s strength and resilience.
Philadelphia Mint
As the first and oldest operating mint in the United States, the Philadelphia Mint has a storied history of producing coins that are both beautiful and significant. This 1899 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, with no mint mark, is a prime example of the Philadelphia Mint’s renowned quality and historical importance.
Historical Context
With a substantial mintage of over 1.6 million coins, the 1899 Liberty Double Eagle is readily available in grades up to MS-64. However, this coin becomes exceedingly rare in gem condition, making it a valuable asset for serious collectors. Its design, crafted by James B. Longacre, remains a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the late 19th century.
These coins are also part of the pre-1933 gold coins that survived Executive Order 6102, which required U.S. citizens to exchange their gold coins, bullion, and certificates for U.S. dollars. People illegally hoarded some of these gold bullion coins, leading to a low surviving population and increasing the value of those that remained.
