1895 Double Eagles Liberty Head NGC MS-61

The 1895 Double Eagle Liberty Head is a $20 gold coin featuring the classic design by James B. Longacre. The obverse depicts Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY," and the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle, symbolizing strength and freedom.

Graded NGC MS-61, this coin is in Mint State condition, meaning it has not been heavily circulated but may show some light imperfections, contact marks, or minor signs of handling typical for coins in this grade. MS-61 coins still retain most of their original luster, though they exhibit some visible flaws, such as small scratches or surface marks, that prevent it from being graded higher.

The 1895 Double Eagle is part of the Liberty Head series, which was minted from 1849 to 1907. While not as rare as other dates, it is still a significant and sought-after coin due to its historical value, gold content, and relatively higher mintage. The MS-61 grade strikes a balance between quality and affordability for collectors who want a well-preserved example without the premium price of higher-grade coins.
