1896 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS62 (CAC)
1896 $20
SKU: 52669839
The **1896 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle** is a classic Philadelphia-minted gold issue from the late 19th century—an era when America’s economic expansion was mirrored in the steady production of large-format gold coinage. Struck in lustrous **.900 fine gold**, this Double Eagle offers collectors an appealing blend of historic presence, strong eye appeal, and enduring demand within the Liberty Head series.
Although its mintage is lower than many dates after 1893, the **1896 Double Eagle is often overstated as a rarity**. In reality, it is a **pretty common date**, comparable to the 1894 and 1897. In **MS62**, it remains readily collectible, while true **Gem** examples are the ones that become notably more difficult. This makes MS62 an excellent “sweet spot” for buyers who want an attractive Mint State coin without stretching into significantly scarcer (and more expensive) grades.
This example is certified **PCGS MS62** and carries a coveted **CAC** endorsement, signaling quality for the grade and adding confidence for collectors who prioritize originality. Expect classic Liberty Head Double Eagle character: bold design detail, strong visual “heft,” and the warm, inviting look that made these coins a cornerstone of U.S. gold collecting. Many MS62 pieces display pleasing **golden-yellow to deeper orange-gold** toning, often complemented by lively Mint State luster and natural surface texture typical of the issue.
