The 1904 Double Eagle Liberty Head is a $20 gold coin featuring the iconic design by James B. Longacre. The obverse shows Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY," and the reverse features a heraldic eagle.
Graded NGC MS-61, this coin is in Mint State, meaning it has not been heavily circulated but may exhibit light wear, minor contact marks, or imperfections typical for this grade. MS-61 coins retain much of their original luster but show signs of handling that prevent them from being in a higher grade.
The 1904 Double Eagle is part of the Liberty Head series, which was produced from 1849 until 1907. The coin holds value due to its gold content and historical significance, with the MS-61 grade making it an accessible option for collectors who are looking for a well-preserved coin from this era. The relatively common mintage of the 1904 Double Eagle means it is widely available, but it remains a key piece in U.S. coinage history.
