Historical Significance
Minted from 1850 to 1907, the Liberty Double Eagle played a crucial role in American commerce. While millions were struck, the 1933 gold recall and melting drastically reduced their numbers. Today, surviving AU examples offer a tangible link to the gold standard era and the early financial legacy of the United States.
