Liberty Head - Twenty D - No Motto
The California Gold Rush of 1848 prompted Congress to authorize the mintage of the 20 Dollar coin. Permission was granted in 1849, and the $20 Gold piece entered circulation in 1850. Double Eagle coins hold the highest Gold content of any regularly issued U.S. Gold coin of its time. Saint Gaudens $20 Gold Coin (1907-1933) The Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle is one of the most sought after gold coins on the market today. These gold pieces were produced by the U.S. Mint from 1907 to 1933. The coin is named after its designer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful U.S. Coins ever minted. In 1849, gold was valued at $20.67 per ounce, hence making the coin at that time worth $20. This is why it retains its designation to this day as a $20 coin. However, the coin is actually made of a gold/copper alloy that consists of only 90% gold and 10% copper, giving the coin a total weight of 1.0750 troy ounces or 33.4362 grams.

20 Dollar Gold Coin Copy
The 1849 $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle is one of the rarest and most valuable US coins ever produced. Technically this is a pattern coin which was used for testing the new double eagle denomination design. The US Mint classified the $10 'Eagle' as the standard gold coin unit to be used starting in 1795 - the largest denomination used up through 1849 mainly for banking and overseas trade business. Although this all changed when gold was first discovered in California in 1848 (and the ensuing 49er's gold rush the following year).
Huge volumes of gold were being shipped to the Philadelphia Mint to strike $10 gold eagles. The Mint decided that it was becoming more practical to produce a larger coin and denomination. In 1849 the US Mint produced a pattern coin for the $20 gold coin - which would be known as the 'Double Eagle'. This pattern coin reference is also known as Judd-117 and Pollock-132. The creation of the $20 double eagle denomination was a direct result of the California Gold Rush. The particular coin above now resides in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institute. Some experts estimate that if this coin went up for sale at private auction - it would be worth between $10 million and $20 million - making it the most valuable coin ever.

Twenty dollar gold coins were first issued by The United States Mint in 1849. The last year that the Mint made $20 gold coins for circulation was 1933. While that is only a 74 year span, more than one hundred different types of $20 gold coins exist when you factor in all of the different denominations, designs, and mint marks. It would cost millions of dollars (and be extremely difficult) to complete an entire set of twenty dollar U.S. gold coins. When dealing with collectible gold coins it is extremely important to consider the condition of the coin.
