20 Dollar Gold Coin
Twenty dollar gold coins were first issued by The United States Mint in 1849. The last year that the Mint made $20 gold coins for circulation was 1933. While that is only a 74 year span, more than one hundred different types of $20 gold coins exist when you factor in all of the different denominations, designs, and mint marks. It would cost millions of dollars (and be extremely difficult) to complete an entire set of twenty dollar U.S. gold coins. When dealing with collectible gold coins it is extremely important to consider the condition of the coin.
