Description

# 1897-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle. An exceptional San Francisco Mint gold double eagle from the late 19th century, this 1897-S $20 Liberty represents a desirable example of classic American gold coinage. Struck during a pivotal era of numismatic history, this piece showcases the refined artistry of the Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre. Graded MS-62 by a prominent third-party service and CAC approved, this specimen exhibits impressive mint state preservation with notable eye appeal. The coin displays sharp mint luster and minimal marks typical of its grade, with attractive golden-orange coloration characteristic of original San Francisco Mint gold coinage. The surfaces demonstrate remarkable original mint texture, with crisp device details and clean fields that speak to its well-preserved nature. The 1897-S issue is considered a moderately scarce date in the Liberty Double Eagle series, with relatively limited mintage and few survivors in high grade. This example represents an excellent opportunity for collectors seeking a high-quality representative of this classic pre-1933 gold type. The CAC verification further enhances its desirability, indicating superior quality within its assigned grade range.
