1890 twenty dollar American gold coin

Danny D. writes: I have in my possession a twenty dollar American gold coin from the year 1890. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some information as to its origin or possible value, thanks.

The origin of the coin would be one of the United States Mints. You don’t mention which mint or the grade of the coin but it contains .9675 of a troy ounce of pure gold. Average pieces (VF) of either Philadelphia or San Francisco would bring about a 5% premium over the gold content. A Carson City Mint example (cc mint mark) would bring at least a 50% premium over gold in average condition.
