This 1899 $20 Liberty MS64 is a sharply struck, highly lustrous example that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of its era. Designed by James Barton Longacre, the Liberty Head $20 coin features a reeded edge and is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing 33.40 grams. Offered at $3,250, this coin is priced below the PCGS suggested retail price of $4,000, providing a valuable opportunity for collectors and investors alike.
