1907 Liberty Head Double Eagle $20 Gold NGC MS61

The 1907 Liberty Head Double Eagle $20 Gold NGC MS61 represents the final year of production for one of the most storied series in American numismatics. Struck in gold at 0. 9675 troy oz, this $20 double eagle carries a face value of twenty dollars and belongs to the long-running Coronet Liberty Head type first introduced in 1849. The obverse presents James Longacre's classic portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, encircled by thirteen stars and the date 1907. The reverse displays a heraldic spread eagle with a shield on its breast, clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWENTY DOLLARS with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above the eagle. The year 1907 marks a pivotal moment in U. S. coinage history — it was the last year the Liberty Head design appeared on the double eagle before President Theodore Roosevelt's coinage beautification program ushered in Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated redesign. This example has been independently graded MS-61 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company and is encapsulated in NGC's secure, tamper-evident holder bearing certification number 5870050-008, making it a confidently attributed piece for any advanced gold type set.
