{"product_id":"us-1903-double-eagle-philly-mint-ms63","title":"US 1903 DOUBLE EAGLE PHILLY MINT MS63","description":"Presenting a magnificent relic of America's industrial golden age: the 1903 Philadelphia Liberty Head Double Eagle. Struck at the very dawn of the 20th century during the dynamic presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, this historic twenty-dollar gold piece fueled the roaring engines of domestic commerce and international trade during a pivotal era of unprecedented American economic expansion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by the legendary Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, this iconic Type 3 Liberty Head remains a foundational cornerstone of classic United States numismatics. The obverse features a resolute, Greco-Roman portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with \"LIBERTY,\" elegantly encircled by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse displays a majestic heraldic eagle bearing a shield, grasping an olive branch and arrows, crowned by the motto \"IN GOD WE TRUST\" nestled within a radiant halo of stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurviving in premium Choice Uncirculated MS63 condition, this particular specimen is a true numismatic prize. Because these massive, heavy gold coins were routinely shipped globally in heavy canvas bags for international bank settlements, the vast majority acquired deep, distracting abrasions and contact marks. This exceptional piece has beautifully defied those odds. It boasts vibrant, original mint luster, a crisp, well-defined strike, and remarkably clean, highly appealing surfaces that will immediately captivate any discerning collector.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the Philadelphia Mint produced over 2.2 million of these double eagles in 1903, extensive commercial circulation and the aggressive government melting programs of the 1930s have made Choice Uncirculated survivors increasingly scarce today. Containing a substantial 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold, this coin completely transcends its status as a mere historical collectible. It stands as a brilliant, enduring monument to the classical gold standard. As modern fiat currency continues to face the relentless, purchasing-power erosion of inflation, this beautifully preserved 1903 Liberty Head Double Eagle offers a tangible, unyielding store of physical wealth, making it an absolute blue-chip addition to any premier numismatic collection or serious precious metals portfolio.","brand":"ANDRE ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45093798904008,"sku":"080-00573","price":5100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/9902\/7912\/files\/8da99cb5c7554239f0ab59f44ef44519.jpg?v=1780177966","url":"https:\/\/oceancityjewelers.com\/products\/us-1903-double-eagle-philly-mint-ms63","provider":"Ocean City Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
