The Liberty Head Double Eagles are a series of $20 gold coins that were minted in the United States from 1849 to 1907. The 1871 Carson City mint mark indicates that this particular coin was struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, which is known for its limited mintage and higher collectibility. The Liberty Head design, created by engraver James B. Longacre, features a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an intricate depiction of an eagle on the reverse, symbolizing American strength and liberty. Coins from the Carson City Mint, especially from earlier years, tend to carry a premium among collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
