With the California Gold rush of 1848 and a new chief engraver to the United States, James B. Longacre, came a newly designed Liberty double eagle. This coin is highly sought after for both its high gold content and its antique value.
Most reputable numismatic grading institutions use the internationally recognized Sheldon grading scale, which ranges from 1 to 70 to grade coin conditions. The MS-62 (which stands for Mint State with a 62 grade) is one of the highest scores a coin may achieve. it’s alternatively referred to as Uncirculated.

The reverse illustrates the national emblem of the United States of America, a bald eagle with outspread wings, an olive branch in one talon and arrows in its other. A crested badge rests at its center, and the official motto of the United States “In God we Trust” is above the eagle’s head.
