The Liberty Gold Double Eagle was one of the longest-running coin designs in American history. Created in 1849 by James B. Longacre, the 4th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, the Liberty Head Double Eagle design element was used on the $20 Double Eagle from 1850 until 1907. Right now, 1904 Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins in certified condition with CMQ approval are available for purchase at JM Bullion.

For the obverse design of 1904 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, the mint features Longacre’s depiction of Lady Liberty. Based on Christian Gobrecht’s Liberty Head bust from the $10 Eagle, this left-profile relief depicts Lady Liberty with her hair in a bun, a coronet crown on her head, and a ring of 13 stars around the field.
In the reverse field of 1904 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins, Longacre offers a vision of the Great Seal of the United States. Based on the heraldic eagle, this ornate design features a large US national shield in front of the bald eagle with rays of light connecting its outstretched wings. The eagle clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. A ring of 13 stars above its head features the national motto.
