The 1925-S double eagle was spared from complete eradication during the mid-1930s gold melts by trade exportation, which preserved small quantities in South American and other foreign banks until recent decades. Although several hundred thousand pieces were paid out to Federal Reserve Banks, per Roger Burdette, the small surviving population of this date does not suggest that any large quantities ever made it into public hands domestically. The date is scarce across the Mint State spectrum, and its availability declines sharply in MS64. Gems, although in existence, are far out of reach for all but the most financially backed collectors. The NGC population stands at just 1 with 4 higher. Listed at $65,000 in the NGC price guide.

The Draped Bust Eagles eagles are a special case, the shortest denomination and the largest early U.S. gold, made only from 1795 through 1804 (one variety was struck in 1834-35), although no 1802-dated examples were produced. Like the quarter eagles, they were struck in relatively small quantities. A date set of early eagles consists of only nine coins, although a variety set — not for the faint of heart — would include 33 die marriages, some extremely rare. This one is lighter and brighter than it appears in our images. Listed at $31,500 in the CDN CPG and $37,500 in the NGC price guide. Unlisted in Trends in this grade but they do list it at $32,500 in MS60.

The following RAW XF-described Cleopatra sold for $215,000 in January 2019 at the New York Invitational!!
Marc Antony and Cleopatra. It is one of the greatest love affairs in human history. The first Romeo and Juliet. A tale made further made famous by William Shakespeare, made legendary in the 1963 movie Cleopatra starring Richard Burton as Antony and Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, and acted out in theater halls and performing arts venues across the Globe.
Marc Antony, Second-In-Command to the great Julius Caesar, was an integral figure in Rome’s transition from a republic to an empire. He was the Ben Franklin to Caesar’s Rome. Until love sealed his fate.
Cleopatra, once lover of Julius Caesar himself and Mother to one of his Sons, became the affectionate admirer of Marc Antony after Caesar’s assassination in 44 B.C. Antony’s affections for Cleopatra became too strong and as such he became more and more intertwined with the Egyptian Kingdom, ignoring the power of Octavian, who solidified power after Julius Caesar’s death and who saw Cleopatra’s hereditary right to rule as a threat. Octavian subsequently declared war on Cleopatra.
As Octavian entered Egypt, Antony and Cleopatra had no way out. Antony, thinking his lover was already dead, stabbed himself with a sword. Cleopatra was captured but managed to commit suicide by a poisonous snakebite.
What better prize is there as a collector than to acquire a tangible artifact of one of the greatest stories ever told? This is your chance.
Artist Depiction of the two lovers. Richard Burton portraying Marc Antony and Elizabeth Taylor portraying Cleopatra in the 1963 film about the Egyptian Queen.

The Grant gold dollars and silver half dollars were issued on behalf of the Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association, and that entity selected Laura Gardin Fraser to prepare the designs. A notice appeared in the January 24, 1922 issue of The Cincinnati Enquirer: There will be minted 10,000 $1 gold pieces and 250,000 silver half dollars, the first to sell for $2.50 each and the second for $1 each. This fund will assure the tri-fold purposes of the association which is interested in the construction of a memorial highway from this city to the east along the Ohio River. After the minting the dies will be destroyed, thus giving the coins a high numismatic value.” NGC has graded just 9 pieces at this level, 2 of which are designated as NGC Star examples. Listed at $19,400 in the CDN CPG and $32,500 in the NGC price guide.

The 1865 Liberty twenty claims a nominal mintage of 351,175 pieces. Before the era of recent shipwreck finds, the 1865 double eagle was seldom encountered above the VF-XF grade level. Fortunately, 320 examples of the 1865 were recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Republic. Most of the recovered coins were in higher AU- Mint state grades, all the way up to MS65. The one offered here is clean and satiny in its appearance. In MS63, listed $23,500 in Trends.
