Liberty Head Coin

An important resource throughout human history has been gold. As the world's economies continue to fluctuate, investing in gold has become an increasingly attractive option. However, the challenge for many investors is figuring out which gold assets are the best value for their money. One option that is often overlooked is the $20 Liberty Head gold coin from the 1890s certified in mint state condition.

First and foremost, these coins were backed by nearly a full ounce (.9675 oz) of pure gold. As a result, people seeking good value in the gold market will find them to be a particularly appealing option. Minted between 1850 and 1907, $20 Liberties were widely used in both domestic and international commerce. Most importantly, they were a reliable and trusted asset.

Of course, not all $20

US President Theodore Roosevelt was tired of minting the same old gold eagle and double eagle coins. To paraphrase President Roosevelt, the country needed a US gold coin redesign. In short, he had long been complaining that US coins lacked artistic quality. In fact, he decided to hire a private sculptor to create a new design. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was chosen to redesign five denominations of US coinage that could be changed without an Act of Congress.

Roosevelt's broad overhaul of the United States gold coins led to a new Lady Liberty. One wearing a traditional Native American Indian Headdress. In 1907, the new $10 coin with the new Lady Liberty wearing the Indian Headdress was unveiled. The coin became a huge success.
