About this coin
The Liberty Head Double Eagle is the largest regular-issue gold coin the United States produced, carrying close to a full ounce of gold in every strike. This 1887 Liberty Head Double Eagle was struck at the Philadelphia Mint and survives as a genuine artifact of the Gold Standard era, when these twenty-dollar pieces backed commerce and crossed oceans.
