1904 United States Liberty Head Double Eagle ($20 Gold Coin). Struck in 90% gold and designed by James B. Longacre, this classic American gold issue features the coronet portrait of Liberty surrounded by stars on the obverse and a heraldic eagle with shield on the reverse. Containing approximately 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold, the Liberty Double Eagle remains one of the most iconic and heavily traded pre-1933 U.S. gold coin types.
This example presents with strong remaining detail and attractive original color, with visible luster and light circulation friction consistent with a lightly circulated to About Uncirculated appearance. The devices remain well defined, including Liberty’s portrait and the eagle’s central shield, while the surfaces show normal contact marks expected for the large-format double eagle series.
A staple of American numismatics and gold collecting, the 1904 issue is a popular early 20th-century date sought for both its intrinsic gold content and historic appeal. An attractive representative of the Liberty Head series, ideal for collectors seeking a classic pre-1933 U.S. gold type coin.
