Gracing the obverse of this 1877-S Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin is Longacre’s captivating rendition of Lady Liberty. This Greco-Roman-inspired portrait presents Liberty in left-profile relief, her head adorned with a regal coronet crown.

The reverse of this 1877-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coin showcases Longacre’s interpretation of the heraldic eagle, a distinctive variation of the Great Seal of the United States.

Inscriptions read TWENTY DOLLARS, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
History
The Double Eagle series, a cornerstone of American coinage, spanned from 1849 to 1933. This Liberty design, masterfully crafted by James B. Longacre, adorned these magnificent coins from their inception until 1907. The design’s impressive run concluded when President Theodore Roosevelt championed a refresh of American coinage, ushering in the renowned Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. Interestingly, the Double Eagle series underwent three distinct design iterations for both the Liberty and the Saint Gaudens Double Eagle throughout its production.
