{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Pre-33 Liberty Double Eagles from the San Francisco Mint represent a unique chapter in American coinage, with roots going back to the California Gold Rush. That historic moment began in 1848 with James Marshalls discovery at Sutters Mill, and it shaped much of the gold production on the West Coast. Just a few years later, the San Francisco Mint began issuing these coins. BGASC now carries 1882-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins.
Highlights:
Each 1882-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle offered through BGASC arrives in Extremely Fine condition and is housed in a plastic flip. In this condition, coins generally score between 40 and 45 on the Sheldon scale. Light wear appears on the high points, while much of the original mint luster can still be seen. The San Francisco Mint led Double Eagle production in 1882, striking over a million coinsfar exceeding the output of its East Coast counterparts.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1882-S Liberty Gold Double Eagle is a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty by James B. Longacre. Liberty wears a coronet inscribed with her name, and 13 stars surround the image to represent the founding colonies.
Reverse
The reverse carries the Great Seal of the United States. This Type III design shows an eagle with spread wings, holding arrows and an olive branch. The shield of the nation rests on its chest, and inscriptions include IN GOD WE TRUST and the denomination written as TWENTY DOLLARS.
History
San Francisco-minted Double Eagles often used gold freshly extracted from nearby mines, especially in the 19th century. These coins carry a stronger historical link to the Gold Rush era than those produced at other US mints. The gold used often went directly from mine to mint, preserving a part of that regional legacy.
