American eagle gold bullion coins

The 1807 PCGS MS64 Bust Left $5 Gold Liberty is a remarkable coin, celebrated for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. Struck during a pivotal era in American coinage, this piece features the classic bust design by John Reich, which exemplifies early 19th-century artistry. With a total mintage of just 51,000 coins, it is relatively rare, contributing to its desirability among collectors. The MS64 grade signifies an impressive level of preservation, making it one of the finest known examples. The population reports indicate a limited number of coins in similar or better grades, enhancing its status as a coveted collectible in the realm of numismatics.

In 1866, a mere 3,630 $20 Liberty Head gold coins were struck. This relatively small mintage reflects the transitional nature of the U.S. Mint during the post-Civil War era, as the nation was adjusting to new coinage designs and economic conditions. Among these, the 1866 CAC MS64 $20 Gold Liberty DMPL coin stands out exceptionally. It is particularly notable because it holds a unique position in the grading population: it is the only coin of its type to have achieved the MS64 grade with the Deep Mirror Proof Like (DMPL) designation, with none graded higher from that year. This singular status underscores the coin's rarity and high quality, making it a standout piece for collectors and investors. The CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) is a service that provides an additional layer of authentication and quality assurance for coins already graded by major numismatic grading services. The designation "MS64" refers to the coin's grade, indicating it is in Mint State with some minor imperfections. "DMPL" stands for Deep Mirror Proof Like, a designation indicating that the coin's surfaces exhibit a highly reflective, mirror-like finish, which is typically seen in Proof coins but can occasionally appear in high-quality Mint State coins.

America’s largest circulating gold coin was the double eagle or $20 piece, born in the exciting years of the great California Gold Rush. The new mines yielded the greatest mass of gold in recorded history. Vast quantities of the yellow metal helped to speed development of the American West and had far-reaching effects on the world’s coinage. The U.S. Mint issued its first Gold coins in 1795. In 1879 the Philadelphia Mint produced just over 1,700,000 $20 Gold Liberty’s and less than 1% of those coins struck have received the MS62 grade from PCGS. These double eagles were minted with both "Open 3" and "Closed 3". For the Philadelphia Mint issues the Open 3 is common and the Closed 3 is scarce. But how can one tell the difference? Look at the larger ball at the lower curve of the 3. The diameter of the ball is about the same size as the opening and would just pass through it. On the closed 3, the lower ball would not pass through the constricted opening.

The Saint Gaudens obverse features a full-length portrait of Liberty grasping a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.
