Shop Certified Liberty Double Eagle Gold Coins at LCR Coin

The Liberty Double Eagle, (also commonly known as the Liberty Head Double Eagle), is one of the most important and enduring gold coin designs in American numismatic history. Introduced during the mid-19th century, this classic U.S. gold coin reflects a period of rapid economic expansion, westward growth, and rising demand for large-denomination gold coinage.

Designed by James B. Longacre, Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, the Liberty Head Double Eagle features a dignified portrait of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY on the obverse. The reverse displays a bold heraldic eagle with shield, a powerful symbol of national strength that remained largely unchanged throughout the series.

Liberty Head Double Eagles were struck at multiple U.S. Mint facilities, including Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, Denver, and Carson City. Many examples were later lost to melting, export, or circulation, making surviving coins—especially well-preserved certified examples—highly desirable among collectors today.

Collectors prize Liberty Head Double Eagles for their historic significance, classic design, and substantial gold content, making them a cornerstone of Pre-1933 U.S. gold collections. Issues bearing the In God We Trust motto add an additional layer of historical interest tied to America’s Civil War–era coinage.
