1896 Double Eagles Liberty Head NGC MS-61

The 1896 Double Eagle Liberty Head is a $20 gold coin featuring the classic design by James B. Longacre. The obverse shows Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY," and the reverse displays 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 light imperfections such as contact marks, surface scratches, or other minor signs of wear typical for coins in this grade. The MS-61 grade indicates that the coin retains much of its original luster but exhibits some handling marks that prevent it from achieving a higher grade.

The 1896 Double Eagle is part of the Liberty Head series, which was minted from 1849 to 1907. While not among the rarest dates in the series, it remains a valuable coin for collectors due to its historical significance and gold content. The MS-61 grade offers a relatively affordable way to own a well-preserved example of this iconic U.S. gold coin.
