Double Eagle is a gold coin of the United States with a denomination of $20. James Barton Longacre designed the pattern for the twenty dollar gold piece in 1849. It
was produced because of the huge amount of gold that came into the Mint
from California. With the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in January
1848, the California gold rush began. It led to an influx of miners and
others into the area. The vast quantity of gold produced led to a need
for a standard form of exchange. The twenty dollar coin was the
government’s response. They also felt that it would be useful for large
commercial transactions and that it would facilitate foreign trade.
The very first date that double eagles were struck for circulation in the USA. This particular specimen is a high end high grade choice uncirculated example with lovely fresh surfaces and beaming brilliant luster.More
