The 1852 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle is a remarkable piece of American numismatic history, struck by the United States Mint with a purity of .900 and a fine weight of 0.9675 troy oz (30.10 grams). This coin, measuring 34 mm in diameter, is a testament to the craftsmanship of its time, featuring anti-counterfeit security through its intricate design elements. The obverse presents the iconic Liberty head, designed by James B. Longacre, adorned with a coronet inscribed with 'LIBERTY' and surrounded by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies.
