Product Details: As the inaugural year of full regular-issue circulation following the California Gold Rush, the 1850 Liberty Head Double Eagle holds monumental historical significance as America's first circulating $20 gold coin. Designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the obverse showcases Coronet Liberty surrounded by 13 stars, while the reverse displays a majestic heraldic eagle with the motto omitted above the shield as originally struck. Certified XF 45 by NGC, this historic specimen exhibits strong, well-defined details across Liberty's hair and the eagle's plumage, balanced by light, honest wear consistent with mid-19th-century commerce. Struck from newly unearthed California gold, this legendary No Motto classic is an essential centerpiece for high-end gold type sets and historical Americana collections.
