Description
# 1852 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle - PCGS MS62. An exceptional representative of the early Liberty Head Double Eagle series, this stunning 1852-dated gold coin represents a pivotal moment in American numismatic history. Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the height of the California Gold Rush, this *Type I* double eagle embodies the economic dynamism of mid-19th century America. The present specimen displays remarkable preservation for its era, with sharp mint luster and crisp design details that speak to its high-grade status. Graded PCGS MS62, the coin exhibits minimal marks and an attractive golden-orange patina characteristic of early gold coinage. The obverse features a classic Liberty head design, while the reverse showcases the heraldic eagle motif typical of this numismatic period. Key Details: - Date: 1852. - Denomination: $20 Double Eagle. - Mint: San Francisco. - Metal: 90% Gold. - PCGS Certification: 46131096. - Grade: MS62. With a relatively low mintage and exceptional preservation, this 1852 double eagle represents a significant opportunity for advanced numismatists and gold coin collectors. Early Liberty Head double eagles from this period are increasingly scarce, making this an important specimen for both investment and historical preservation.
