The $20 Liberty Double Eagles available here were first struck in 1861, just before the onset of the US Civil War. Today, certified 1861-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available at BGASC.

History
The 1861 release of the $20 Liberty Double Eagles marked a significant moment in the coin’s history. The start of the US Civil War in 1861 led to changes in gold coin production, with the San Francisco Mint becoming the primary production site from 1862-1865. During the Civil War, the Philadelphia Mint would issue relatively nominal numbers of coins while the New Orleans Mint had come under Confederate control during the war and did not produce any coins.
