Description

# 1892 Liberty Head Double Eagle - PCGS MS61. An exceptional Philadelphia Mint $20 Gold Piece from the Liberty Head Double Eagle Series, this 1892-dated specimen represents a significant opportunity for the discerning numismatist and gold coin collector. Struck during a pivotal era in American coinage, this PCGS MS61 example showcases the elegant design of James Barton Longacre, featuring the iconic Liberty Head motif. With a remarkably low original mintage of just 4,430 pieces, this coin represents a scarce issue within the pre-1933 gold series. The coin exhibits the standard 90% gold, 10% copper composition typical of the period, weighing 33.4 grams with a precise 34mm diameter and characteristic reeded edge. Population data reveals the coin's true rarity, with only 19 examples graded higher and a total of 9 coins certified by PCGS. While most surviving 1892 Double Eagles are found in Extremely Fine (EF) or About Uncirculated (AU) condition, this Mint State example represents a noteworthy acquisition. Numismatic experts note that choice uncirculated specimens are extremely rare, with very few examples reaching gem quality.
