1852 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS61 (CAC)
1852 $20
SKU: 53059533
A classic Philadelphia Type One Double Eagle, this 1852 $20 Liberty Head is offered in PCGS MS61 with CAC approval, a combination that signals solid quality and originality for the grade. Struck during the height of the California Gold Rush era, the 1852 Double Eagle represents the ambitious expansion of America’s gold coinage and remains a cornerstone issue for collectors building a high-caliber Liberty Head gold type set.
While the 1852 is among the more available Type One double eagles overall, it becomes markedly more selective in Mint State. In fact, more Uncirculated examples are known for this date than any other non-shipwreck issue of the 1850s, yet genuinely choice pieces with pleasing surfaces and strong eye appeal are still far from automatic. This specimen stands out as an attractive, collector-focused example of a date that rewards discernment.
Strike quality is a notable strength for the issue, and the 1852 is widely regarded as one of the better-produced Type One double eagles. Well-defined hair detail, bold stars, and crisp dentilation are typical of the best examples, and the reverse is generally strong as well. Knowledgeable specialists often avoid late die state pieces that show weakness around the obverse border; this offering is selected to meet the expectations of advanced buyers seeking a properly defined representative.
Surface preservation is frequently the determining factor for Mint State 1852 double eagles, as many survivors show deep, distracting abrasions from heavy commercial handling. Patient collectors can, however, locate coins that are comparatively clean, and CAC endorsement provides added confidence that this example is solid for the assigned grade. The coin displays appealing original gold coloration with lively luster that complements the design’s bold, historic presence.
Population and certification details reinforce the coin’s collectability in certified Mint State:
PCGS MS61, CAC
PCGS Certification Number: 53059533
PCGS Population: 76 graded in MS61, with 82 higher

An ideal candidate for the collector seeking an honest Mint State Type One Double Eagle with strong production quality, historic Gold Rush-era significance, and the added assurance of CAC approval.
