What is the value of an 1875 US 20 dollar gold piece?

Answer 1

I have an 1875 D US Gold $20.00 Coin, Lone Eagle on One side(Wings Spread)

on the other side is a Crowned Liberty Head-Any Ideas on how much it's worth ?

AnswerWhat you are seeing as a "D" mint mark is actually "D." with a period and was a 19th century abbreviation for "dollar". The Dahlonega mint closed in 1861 and Denver didn't open till 1906 so no 1875 US coin could have a D mint mark.

To find the actual mint mark look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be a CC or S.
