The Liberty Double Eagle stands out as a cherished design in American coin history. Released in 1850, this $20 gold coin by the US Mint became the highest denomination circulated. Featuring James B. Longacre’s Liberty Head bust, it was minted from 1850 to 1907. Now, you can own an 1873-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle with a Closed 3 from BullionMax.
Coin Highlights:
The Double Eagle series only featured two designs, unlike other US Eagle denominations. This was because it started in 1850, while the other denominations began in 1794/95 and underwent various changes early on. Therefore, Longacre’s original design remained from 1850 to 1907, followed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ famous design from 1907 to 1933.
Each 1873-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle available here is graded Very Fine 30. Coins in this grade exhibit medium or light wear, with most design details still clear. The Very Fine grade ranges from 20 to 35 on the Sheldon Numeric Scale, and these coins are at the higher end of that range. The Closed 3 designation highlights the tight shape of the 3 in the 1873 date mark.
The obverse of the 1873 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle features a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. Designed by Longacre in 1850, this portrait shows Liberty wearing a coronet crown, with a ring of 13 stars encircling the field of the coin.
On the reverse of the 1873-S $20 Double Eagle Coin is the Great Seal of the United States. Also designed by Longacre, this image displays a front-facing bald eagle with the US national shield. The eagle’s talons hold the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, with the national motto surrounded by 13 stars above the eagle’s head.
