1899 Double Eagles Liberty Head NGC MS-61

The 1899 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 the word "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 exhibit light imperfections such as minor contact marks, scratches, or small signs of handling typical for coins in this grade. MS-61 coins retain much of their original luster but display visible flaws that prevent them from achieving a higher grade.

The 1899 Double Eagle is part of the Liberty Head series, which was minted from 1849 to 1907. The 1899 date is not one of the rarer issues in the series, but it remains a desirable coin for collectors due to its historical significance, gold content, and the classic design. The MS-61 grade provides collectors with an affordable option to own a well-preserved example of this important U.S. gold coin, without paying a premium for higher-grade specimens.
