Historical Significance
The Liberty Double Eagle was introduced in 1850 and remained in production until 1907. Although minted in large quantities, many were lost to government-mandated gold recalls and meltings in the 1930s. Today, surviving examples—especially those available at bullion-like premiums—are increasingly prized by those seeking tangible U.S. history in gold.
