Highly Coveted Saint Issue – NGC MS63 1929 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle
BySirhc 2023-03-272023-03-30

After numerous common date Philadelphia Mint double eagles were issued through 1928, mintages continued at substantial levels in 1929 and beyond. However, beginning in 1929 these pieces were not widely distributed, but rather, were stored in Treasury vaults awaiting their fate in the government melting pots of the mid and late-1930s. In Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth wrote: “Beginning with the 1929 double eagle…

Scarce Civil War Issue – 1862 Liberty Double Eagle NGC XF45
BySirhc 2023-03-242023-03-30

The economic stresses and uncertainties of the Civil War resulted in widespread hoarding of all precious metal coinage and the government suspended specie payments in late 1861. These circumstances resulted a drastic reduction of coinage in 1862, and the Philadelphia Mint struck a modest business-strike mintage of only 92,133 double eagles that year. The coins were largely ignored by contemporary collectors and few were saved for numismatic purposes. Unlike some other dates of this period,…

Branch mint double eagles from the 1920s tend to be elusive across the board (aside from the 1923-D), but the 1927 issues take it to the next level. The 1927-S was struck to the extent…

BySirhc 2023-03-092023-03-13

The 1903 Liberty double eagle claims a nominal mintage of 287,270 pieces. Like other high-denomination gold issues of the time, the 1903 was primarily used in foreign trade or as currency reserves. Beginning after World War II, a number of coins surfaced in European and Central American holdings, increasing the supply of attractive specimens in today‘s market. The repatriated coins are often found in Mint State condition, but they usually exhibit some surface marks…

1892 Liberty Double Eagle NGC AU58
BySirhc 2023-03-072023-03-13

This Philadelphia issue is a standout rarity within the latter part of the double eagle series, boasting the lowest mintage of any date from that point through 1907, when the Liberty Head motif was replaced with Saint-Gaudens’ design. Only 4,430 circulation strikes were manufactured, plus 93 proofs. Although the 1892 did not see much circulation and was likely subject to exportation overseas, examples are rarely seen in Uncirculated condition. The NGC…
