The 1884 $20 Liberty Double Eagle offers collectors a fascinating look into the mintage history of 19th-century American gold coins. While the San Francisco Mint produced nearly a million of these coins, the Carson City Mint struck just 81,139 pieces, making its version far scarcer and more desirable.

The obverse of each 1884-CC Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin features the portrait of Lady Liberty. This design, created by James B. Longacre, shows Liberty in left-profile with her hair in curls and wearing a coronet marked with the word “Liberty.” Thirteen stars encircle the portrait, symbolizing the original colonies.

On the reverse side of the 1884-CC $20 Liberty Double Eagle, you’ll see the Great Seal of the United States. This includes a bald eagle with a shield on its chest, arrows in one talon, and an olive branch in the other. As a Type III coin, this version includes the national motto above the eagle and a revised denomination inscription.

Carson City’s production of Double Eagle coins has long drawn the attention of collectors. Operating near Nevada’s Comstock Lode, the mint produced these coins intermittently from 1870 to 1893. Gold mined in the region contributed directly to the coins minted there, adding historical and regional significance to each piece.

These 1884-CC $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are offered here in About Uncirculated 55 (AU55) condition. This means the coin shows only slight wear and retains most of its original luster, making it a solid choice for collectors seeking well-preserved historical coins.
