# 1897-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coin. This stunning San Francisco Mint Liberty Double Eagle represents a significant example of late 19th-century American gold coinage. Struck during a pivotal era of economic expansion, the 1897-S *Type III Liberty Head* double eagle showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the San Francisco Mint at the height of the Gold Rush period. Graded MS-62 by a leading numismatic certification service and approved with a CAC gold sticker, this specimen offers exceptional eye appeal for its grade. The surfaces display minimal marks typical of the designation, with lustrous golden surfaces that retain substantial original mint bloom. The strike is crisp and well-defined, highlighting the intricate design details of the Liberty Head motif and the reverse eagle.
