The Government confiscation and meltdowns during the Great Depression reduced this supply even further leaving a truly fixed and limited supply of Pre-1933 U.S. Naturally, as coins circulated, they wore down and were eventually pulled out of the money supply to be melted and made into new coins creating a naturally diminishing supply of $20 Liberties and its smaller counterparts. All were struck in 22-kt gold since durability was a necessity for coins struck to be used in the everyday money supply. Completing the core four-coin Liberty Series are the $10 Liberty, $5 Liberty, and $2.5 Liberty. Weighing nearly one ounce of gold, the $20 Double Eagle Liberty was the cornerstone of U.S. The $20 Liberty is also known as a “Double-Eagle” indicating that it’s twice the size of its $10 counterpart long nicknamed an “Eagle”.
