Collectible coins are often sought after by numismatists for their historical significance, artistry, and potential investment value. The American Liberty Gold Coin series, particularly the $20 gold coins, includes notable issues like the 1871 $20 Liberty Head, which features the iconic Liberty design by James B. Longacre. These coins are composed of 90% gold and are highly regarded for their craftsmanship and the story they represent about American history and minting practices during the 19th century. The 1871 issue, part of a larger series produced between 1849 and 1907, reflects the period's economic conditions and the gold rush era's impact on coinage in the United States.
