1898-S $20 Liberty NGC MS64 CAC
This 1898-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle, graded MS64 by NGC and CAC certified, offers an exceptional combination of condition, history, and investment-grade appeal. As a product of the San Francisco Mint—a key facility during America’s Gold Rush and Western expansion—this coin carries both historic and geographic significance.
Designed by James B. Longacre, the Liberty Head Double Eagle features a classic neoclassical profile of Liberty and a bold heraldic eagle on the reverse. Struck from .9675 ounces of pure gold, the coin served as a cornerstone of 19th-century American commerce and global trade.
High-grade survivors like this one are increasingly difficult to find, especially with the coveted CAC seal, which certifies superior quality within the MS64 grade. Its well-struck surfaces, rich luster, and minimal contact marks place it among the elite examples from this issue.
The 1898-S is a standout for collectors building a Liberty Head gold type set or for investors seeking tangible wealth backed by both intrinsic value and numismatic demand.
Secure a stunning piece of U.S. gold history—this NGC MS64 CAC-certified Double Eagle represents the enduring legacy of American coinage at its finest.
A LITTLE STICKER MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Within each number of the coin grading scale is a small range of condition from low-end to high-end. Certified coins of the same grade can be of varying quality. Many of today’s collectors want coins that are solid or premium quality for their assigned grade. CAC holds coins to a higher standard so you can be confident in the value of yours. We verify previously graded coins … and award our sticker only to those coins that meet the standard for today’s selective buyer.
WHAT THE CAC STICKER MEANS:
- Verified. Your coin has been verified as meeting the standard for strict quality within its grade.
- Guaranteed. CAC stands behind our verification.
THE CAC STICKER IS BACKED BY EXPERIENCE.
CAC was founded by leading members of the numismatic community, including John Albanese, a respected authority on coin grading and the rare coin market.
