Additional Description: The 1896 Liberty Head Double Eagle, certified by PCGS, is a distinguished example of late 19th-century American gold coinage. Designed by James B. Longacre, its obverse features a classical Liberty in coronet, while the reverse bears the traditional heraldic eagle—symbols of stability during an era of economic growth.  Struck during the Gilded Age, this $20 gold piece was intended for large-scale commerce and international trade.
