Historical Significance
The Liberty Double Eagle was introduced in 1850 and remained in production until 1907. During the 1933 gold recall, many were melted down, reducing the surviving supply dramatically. VF examples today represent genuine pieces of U.S. economic history—held in hands that built the nation.
