The Liberty Head Double Eagles are collectible gold coins minted in the United States between 1849 and 1904, and then again in 1920. The twenty-dollar coins feature a distinctive Liberty head design on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1857 issue was struck at the New Orleans Mint, notable for its historical significance and lower mintage compared to other years, making it desirable among collectors. These coins consist of 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing 33.41 grams, and are highly sought after for both their numismatic value and precious metal content.
