In February 1849, Congress authorized the striking of $20 gold coins and the "Double Eagle" was born.
The first two $20 Liberty Gold pieces were struck—the ONLY ones to ever bear the date 1849.
Now, 158 years later, only one single 1849 $20 Gold Piece survives.
Housed in the Smithsonian Institution, it is a gleaming reminder of America's Gold Rush.

    

Now, you have a chance to own this magnificant reproduction of the original rare 1849 $20 Double Eagle Gold proof coin.    Proof coin is a specially produced coin made from highly polished planchets and dies and often struck twice to accent the design. Proof coins can be distinguished by their sharpness of detail, brilliant and mirror-like surface.                                                                            SPECIFICATIONS                                    Composition:...............................10 Mil 24 KT Gold Clad Base                                    Weight: ...........................................................................~15grams                                    Diameter:........................................................................ 34mm                                    Condition:........................................................................Proof
