Rare Coins - Gold $10 to 20

Gold $10.00 and $20.00
United States Gold Eagle ($10.00) and the United States Gold Double Eagle ($20.00) are the two heaviest gold coins made for regular commerce at the United States Mint. The Eagles were included among the first group of coins authorized by Congress in 1792, the Double Eagle in 1849. There were many coins made of most kinds and they are easily found today.

Draped Bust Right Large Eagle 1795-1804
The Draped Bust Right (or Caped Bust Right) Large Eagle or Heraldic Eagle is a large scarce early type and not often seen. We buy all early US gold coins.

Liberty Head 1838-1866
After an absence of thirty four years, the Mint reduced the size and changed the design to Gobrechts new Liberty Head or Coronet Eagle, which was made in three basic types. The first was the Head of 1838 or Large Letters Reverse in 1838-1839, the next the Head of 1840 or Small Letters Reverse on the No Motto of 1840-1866, and the last was the With Motto of 1866-1907. Many of these coins were made in great quantities and the type is always available. They look like the Quarter Eagle, Half Eagle and Double Eagle of the same period. They are popular with collectors and investors today, and so we buy and sell all Liberty Head Eagles.

The first, the High Relief 1907 is scarce and always expensive, the second, No Motto 1907-1908 and last With Motto 1908-1933 are both common and plentiful, and because of their weight, desired by investors as well as collectors.
