1901 $20PCGS Plus

Description

# 1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle - PCGS MS63. A splendid Philadelphia Mint Liberty Head Double Eagle from the classic pre-1900 gold series, this 1901 $20 gold piece represents an excellent example of late 19th-century American coinage. Struck during the final decade of James Barton Longacre's iconic design, this specimen offers collectors a pristine glimpse into the numismatic artistry of the era. Graded PCGS MS63, this lustrous gold coin exhibits the characteristic mint state preservation typical of high-quality early 20th-century gold issues. The Philadelphia strike demonstrates sharp architectural details and vibrant golden-orange luster consistent with its grade. With a total population of 154 coins and only 2,591 specimens graded higher, this example represents a solid representative of its vintage and mintage. Technical specifications include the standard 90% gold, 10% copper composition, weighing 33.4 grams with a precise 34mm diameter and traditional reeded edge. The 1901 issue, with its modest mintage of 111,430 pieces, is considered relatively common within the Liberty Head Double Eagle series. However, this PCGS-certified specimen maintains superior eye appeal and technical quality that distinguishes it from more average examples.
