History

The Liberty Head double eagle series ran from 1849 through 1907 and was struck at five different US Mints, including Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, Carson City, and Denver. Total output numbered in the tens of millions, though yearly mintages varied widely depending on gold supplies and economic trends. For example, production in some Civil War years was more limited, while later western discoveries encouraged larger mintages.
