United States - 20 Dollars 1871S (San Francisco) 'Double Eagle'- gold

The $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles were minted between 1849-1907 and designed by Chief Engraver James Longacre. The coin weighs . 9675 troy ounce and is struck in 90% fine gold. A testament to the huge boom in the California Gold Rush, this coin is a collector's item. This auction is for a rare and very collectible 1871-S $20 coin that has been in my family for several generations. While I am not an expert in grading, the photos will account for the coin's condition. The microscopic mintmark on the reverse of this double eagle is filled and resembles a raised rectangular lump below the eagle's tail. Most of the nearly 1 million minted 1871-S twenties entered circulation and the average certified grade is about 53. This example is finer, exhibiting reflective fields around sharply detailed devices. Scattered marks fail to diminish the eye appeal. This historic Double Eagle gold coin offers the highest gold content of any regular issue U. S. gold coin of its era and possesses one of the most arresting reverses on any United States coin: a dauntless eagle, its wings fully spread. Guaranteed to be 100% authentic.
