The $20 Liberty gold coin is renowned for its size – it’s one of the largest coins issued by any country – and also for its pleasing appearance.

When it comes to an intelligent addition to your portfolio, U.S. Mint State gold coins in grades Choice Uncirculated (MS63) and Near-Gem Uncirculated (MS64) grades are an exceptional choice, having provided investors returns as high as 198.8%.* And as the price of gold increases these gold coins continue to offer tremendous opportunities.

The Type 3 Liberty double eagle was the largest mintage of the three types of $20 double eagles with 64,137,477 coins minted from 1877 through 1907. Millions of Type 3 Liberty double eagles were shipped overseas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to be used as bank reserves. This coin was also shipped out of the country in large masses during 1933 when Americans were required to turn over their gold due to the suspension of gold production. Today, those coins - the "overseas Liberties" - are highly sought after rarities.

The $20 Liberty double eagle was designed by James B. Longacre, based on a previous $10 Liberty design. The obverse features the head of Liberty facing left, with hair tied in a bun and curls flowing down to the base of the bust. She is wearing a coronet inscribed with LIBERTY. Thirteen stars surround the bust with the date positioned below. The reverse depicts an eagle with outstretched wings holding an olive branch and arrows. In 1877, the third and final version of the coin, known as Type 3, was released. It replaced the denomination TWENTY D. with TWENTY DOLLARS and Miss Liberty's portrait on the obverse was refined, now showing more delicate detail in the face and hair.
