[Copy]1850-1866 Liberty Head $20 Gold Coin Fine Uncirculated Limited Edition00

The Brother Jonathan and the 1850-1866 Twenty Dollar Gold Liberty Double Eagle

As a young man, I was introduced to coin collecting through my grandfather. He loved and appreciated classic U.S. gold and silver coinage and was gracious and generous enough to make me feel as though it was our collection. I really loved his stories about history and the different events that some of our coins might have been a part of...I loved holding an object in my own hands that had passed through the hands of so many others, during some of the most challenging and momentous times in our nation’s history. It fascinated me that somehow a coin, a small, shiny, and valuable piece of precious metal and artistic beauty, had survived decades or centuries, only to end up in my hands. I still have many of these coins today, and I know and hold dear that, in a very real sense, they are a direct link to my grandfather, his affection and generosity, and most of all, the time we spent together.

One of my favorite coins is the $20 Gold Liberty Double Eagle. Liberty Head Double Eagles were minted for commerce from 1850 to 1907. It was designed by James Longacre, the 4th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and perhaps best known as the designer of the Indian Head Cent. Longacre chose to show Lady Liberty in profile, surrounded by an array of 13 stars [13 original states], with the coin’s reverse showing a new design not used elsewhere on American coins. It consists of an eagle with a squared-off shield on its breast, holding arrows and an olive branch, with ornaments to the left and right, stars and rays above, and the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TWENTY D. There are three types of Liberty Head double eagles: the 1850-1866 style with the denomination expressed as TWENTY D, the 1866-1876 style, with the denomination stated the same way but with the addition of the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST”, and the 1877-1907 type with the denomination stated as TWENTY DOLLARS.
