1878 20$ liberty head double eagle gold coin

DanDaniels

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the world of gold coins and collecting, and I could really use some help. I recently came across a gold coin and I’m trying to figure out what exactly I have and what it might be worth.

I don’t know much about coins yet, so any advice or guidance would be appreciated. If it helps, I can upload a picture of the coin and share any details I can find on it (like inscriptions, weight, size, etc.).

Thanks in advance.

If you post this in the US coin forum you'll get on target answers. Melt minus 5% is fairly standard on problem coins like that.

Seems about right.

Ex jewelry. Maybe 3000?
