Liberty Double Eagles
1850 $20 AU58 NGC. The bright yellow-gold hue of this near-Mint 1850 double eagle is consistent with the appearance of Philadelphia gold coins struck with California ore. Luster remains in the protected regions, and the sharp design elements are only lightly worn on the high points. The surfaces are relatively smooth. The double eagle denomination was approved by Congress in 1849, in response to a massive increase in the amount of gold bullion that the Mint needed to coin.
