Liberty Double Eagles
1850 $20 XF45 PCGS. The entire nation felt the influence of the California Gold Rush, including the U.S. Mint when a new denomination, the double eagle was added to the national coinage system. This large gold coin doubled the Mint's use of gold with little additional effort. The Choice XF example offered here has myriad surface marks as expected for the grade. The pleasing light yellow surfaces have splashes of straw-gold toning on the high points, and retain traces of luster in the protected areas.
