Thousands, for example, sunk with the SS Central America, a ship loaded with more than two tons of gold dust, nuggets, coins, and ingots from the California Gold Rush. The loss of Central Americas treasure was so severe that it set off the Panic of 1857. Over a century later, treasure hunters recovered the precious cargo, including thousands of beautiful, glittering Type 1 double eagles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e - Double Eagle, minted 1866 - 1876, was the first double eagle to bear the words In God We Trust. The addition required slight modifications to the design, and in that process, small changes were also made to the eagle and shield. Type 2 double eagles are primarily sought by type collectors, with mint-condition Carson City double eagles being a standout rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Type 3\u003c\/strong\u003e - Double Eagle was minted 1877 - 1907 and features alterations to the In God We Trust motto and the Liberty Head, as well as a lengthening of Twenty D. to Twenty Dollars. In 1891, gold was discovered in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and the Denver Mint was established. About 12 Type 3 double eagle proofs were struck there, and one sold in 2010 for over half a million dollars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*The coin pictured is only a representation of the coin you will receive, not the exact coin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U.S. Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44007999111302,"sku":"2101","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5312\/9094\/files\/20librandomdate1__53881.1665917163.1280.1280.jpg?v=1779753926","url":"https:\/\/lcrcoin.com\/products\/random-date-1850-1907-liberty-20-gold-double-eagle-au","provider":"LCR Coin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
