America’s largest circulating gold coin was the double eagle or $20 piece, born in the exciting years of the great California Gold Rush. The new mines yielded the greatest mass of gold in recorded history. Vast quantities of the yellow metal helped to speed development of the American West and had far-reaching effects on the world’s coinage. The U.S. Mint issued its first Gold coins in 1795. In 1853 the New Orleans Mint produced just over 71,000 $20 Gold Liberty’s and less than 1% of those coins struck have received the AU55 grade from NGC.

In 1866, a mere 3,630 $20 Liberty Head gold coins were struck. This relatively small mintage reflects the transitional nature of the U.S. Mint during the post-Civil War era, as the nation was adjusting to new coinage designs and economic conditions. Among these, the 1866 CAC MS64 $20 Gold Liberty DMPL coin stands out exceptionally. It is particularly notable because it holds a unique position in the grading population: it is the only coin of its type to have achieved the MS64 grade with the Deep Mirror Proof Like (DMPL) designation, with none graded higher from that year. This singular status underscores the coin's rarity and high quality, making it a standout piece for collectors and investors. The CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) is a service that provides an additional layer of authentication and quality assurance for coins already graded by major numismatic grading services. The designation "MS64" refers to the coin's grade, indicating it is in Mint State with some minor imperfections. "DMPL" stands for Deep Mirror Proof Like, a designation indicating that the coin's surfaces exhibit a highly reflective, mirror-like finish, which is typically seen in Proof coins but can occasionally appear in high-quality Mint State coins.

These double eagles were minted with both "Open 3" and "Closed 3". For the Philadelphia Mint issues the Open 3 is common and the Closed 3 is scarce. But how can one tell the difference? Look at the larger ball at the lower curve of the 3. The diameter of the ball is about the same size as the opening and would just pass through it. On the closed 3, the lower ball would not pass through the constricted opening.
