An exquisite example of the Liberty Head $20 Gold Piece from the Philadelphia Mint, this stunning 1901 double eagle represents a quintessential specimen of late 19th/early 20th-century American gold coinage. Struck during the James Barton Longacre design era, this coin embodies the classic numismatic artistry of its period. Certified by PCGS with a solid *MS63* grade, this piece showcases remarkable preservation for its age. The coin exhibits exceptional mint luster and sharp design details, typical of high-grade examples from the Philadelphia Mint. With a total mintage of 111,430, this date is considered relatively common among Liberty Head double eagles, yet this particular specimen stands out for its superior eye appeal and technical quality. The coin's technical specifications are impressive: 90% gold and 10% copper composition, weighing 33.4g with a 34mm diameter and reeded edge. Its PCGS certification #42583633 guarantees its authenticity and grade. Population data indicates only 2,591 coins have been graded at this level or higher, making this an attractive option for both serious collectors and numismatic investors.
