United States $20 Liberty MS63 gold coins are an ideal gold investment for those seeking exposure to both the gold price itself, as well as additional upside potential through the possibility of premium expansion.  Given that the $20 Liberties (1851-1907) were minted before the $20 Saint Gaudens gold coins (1907-1932), they are typically scarcer, and therefore more expensive, in higher conditional grades than $20 St. Gaudens.
